I'm getting lots of errors...can't browse the store very effectively yet. Anyone else having these problems?
Can't wait to pick up an ipod on Friday...:D
A good thing they did keep was the ability to rip your music in mp3, not just in the new AAC format.
Two thumbs up for Steve and Apple!:D
Oh ya, and it is only for Apple users!

Are the files that we rip our selves going to have the Digital rights managment limits too, or is it going to apply to the music we get from the store only?
Besides, I am waiting this evening to browse through the catalogue and hopefully I will find some songs... I already have several thousands CD's...

A buck a song isn't that much less than we pay now per song on CD. Additionally, any restrictions on my use of a downloaded song is a killer. Yes, this is less restrictive than most, but why should I pay a buck a song and then be told what I can and can't do with the music I purchased, especially when I can rip one of the CDs in my collection and play it anywhere and any device I like?
Steve gave a lot of reasons why he thinks this will take off. I don't agree with him. The pricing point is too high and the restrictions are ridiculous. This is not going to convert people that are already downloading music unlawfully. In fact, I don't think it's much better than the services already available, it's just a different spin.
Color me unimpressed (although I do like the new iPods).

Oooooohhh DRM SO better be limited to what we buy at the Music Store. It would make sense that way. Otherwise it would just be a sneaky sneaky thing....
