WE are on the same page here, John. I did notice quite a few artists I wouldn;t buy, but the good thing was< i could listen to a lot of their songs, and then all the money (or almost all) went to the artist. That is really cool. ANd I don;t see artists and garage bands wasting time with DRM and pissing off their listeners. I think the economic end of the RIAA is near. -akhilesh
