Maybe the reason iTunes has become sooo popular is cuz they have finally put buying music in an easy, efficient, and cheap format. I happen to a big fan of iTunes and Apple. It sucks cuz I love NBC shows and now i cant get them for my iPod just because some corporate fat cats dont feel like they are getting enough money. I mean, I know its hard. They all have yachts and mansions to pay for. But as a result i dont get to watch my shows if I miss them unless I want to sit at my laptop and watch them in the TERRIBLE, COMMERCIAL-WRIDDEN, format on the stupid NBC site. This is dumb. Really dumb.</p> I dont care what any of you say. Maybe the reason iTunes has become sooo popular is cuz they have finally put buying music in an easy, efficient, and cheap format.
