Is it really worth the extra 30 cents?

I'm happy that iTunes has ditched all DRM at this point, but the new pricing structure is a little weird, and I'm not sure how it's going to affect the store. The extra 30 cents from premium tracks isn't just directed at new releases - it's applicable for tracks from The Who, Nirvana and more. Link that with comparison shopping on Amazon and other services, and it just doesn't make much sense. Unless it was capitulation for keeping major label tracks on the iTunes service at all, but even still it seems a little wrong.

In the meantime, I'm having fun playing with BoinxTV. Every video looks more official when you add a crawl and bulletin graphics to it, even when it's just the output of your laptop camera.

I own amps I love to use, but I also love not moving them & using a perfectly good rig elsewhere. Glad I know folks who make it happen. :) 20 hours ago
