Totally agree, Ipod Touch seems super except for the mentioned issues.

Was just reading about the watermarking that they are applying to the music. This was inevitable.

Apple Ipod is good one. And your choice is also good

TIMMY! Good to see ya!

Personally, I have yet to buy a single iteration of iPod but maybe these touches will be the way to go. I guess first stop is the Apple store so I can first see what they're all about. (And I hate iTunes - except for podcasts)

"They will never make what they used to, but either ways itâ€™s still a boat load."

actually the online music sharing industry has had little to no effect on earnings of both the record companies and the artists.

and.. sharing with family and friends has existed in the same capacity as it does now since the age of cassette tape ;)

its sharing with people you dont even know that's the new element.

honestly, i think the future is in services like rhapsody etc. 'owning' a digital copy doesn't have much allure.. why not just have the entire music universe at your fingertips for a flat rate per month. A person can only consume (listen) to so much? Rhapsody now plays on a plethora of mobile devices (like my n800) so i am never disconnected from pretty much any song i could ever want... legally.. and without limitations and BS like having to buy a 160gb ipod

lol.

i think selling 160gb ipods encourages a lot more 'piracy' than DRM'd music. Find anyone with a 160gb ipod and you will find a huge media pirate.

They sell a lot of them, but nobody legally owns $60,000USD in music, CD, LP, digital or otherwise.

As much as I hope this is going to work, I think it will only hurt the music industry that much more. Now there are going to be a lot more family, roommates and friends sharing their songs amongst CDs and MP3 players. Let's hope this is future while musicians can still pump out music and make decent enough money.

They will never make what they used to, but either ways it's still a boat load.

I hope it's the wave of the future. Anytime you buy something 1 at a time (like from iTunes), it's going to be expensive. I'm sure Amazon did their homework before launching this, so no doubt it will be successful. I would definitely try it out and see how it works for me.
