Buy vs. Rent?
Ok, I don't get the deal with renting songs vs. buying them on iTunes. If I spend a year renting songs, I have access to a huge number of songs, its true, but when I stop using the service the songs are gone.
For the sake of illustration, lets say I pay $10 a month to rent songs. I just pulled that number out of thin air, btw. That's $120 for year of access to any song I want to hear. Now, what happens after a year if your music service goes out of business or you decide you don't like it any more? You're stuck with nothing.
If you spend that $120 on iTunes, you now have 12 albums, or 120 individual songs. They are yours to keep, even if you never visit iTunes again!
I just can't see spending the money. But what the hell do I know, I live in an apartment.
