I wondered over this until I remembered that iTunes is now a music store
to most people, rather than just the default Mac audio-player :)

I've never bought anything from the iTMS -- partially 'cause of the
rights issues (when I buy it, it's _mine_ :) and partially 'cause I'm
not interested in buying something that will sound worse than a CD and
that, on a per song basis, costs about the same.  I have bought FLACs
from livephish and livebonnaroo, though, and I expect to buy a souvenier
of the Mule's upcoming London gig from muletracks :)  I guess the Dead
are now offering Dick's Picks as FLACs, but they cost about as much as
the CDs, so there's not much incentive there!

Cheers,
Carl

ps - I hear there's a little workshop in the Bronx that makes excellent
cowbells.  I gotta check that out, if I can :)
