iTunes store vs iPod users
Just read that only 5% of music content on iPods/MP3 players comes from the iTunes store! I can understand why. Buying a CD has tangible advantages (literally!), and also gives you a high quality lossless starting point. If you want to downgrade the quality for the sake of portability, you can, but when you come home it's time to fire up that lovely Quad CD player with an outboard DAC, and enjoy some REAL quality; 2.5mm stereo headphone jacks and compression really are not hifi...
