    @anon re burning to CDs

    Anon says "Any songs one buys through iTunes can be burned to a CD and then the CD's tracks converted into MP3 format for playback on any device that supports MP3s."

    True. But of course that ruins your songs -- burning to MP3s and then ripping back to iTunes decompresses and then recompresses the music, introducing digital artifacts into music.
