well i am hearing people complain about mp3 format in general. yeah itunes sucks and i wish steve jobs went broke as he was doing most the 90s, but now we have them empiring over the business and unfortunately empires love fuck buddies so now the record companies are close with iTunes and putting stuff they don't want to sell in CD format for fear it will not sell too much like B-Side compilations. But the good news is this also means that things like b-side or live compilations will get released, there's no question of them ever getting to cd or vinyl or whatever tangeble format you prefer, but i'd rather have it out there on mp3 than them not releasing it. iTunes happens to be the most successful because they were the fastest to release a simple, efficient format that coincides with their over-trendy ipods which everyone owns. very cancerous marketing... anyway, since this monopoly on the mp3 market, it does turn into the next format, until it's usurped by something better, which probably wont happen for a while.
