I'm a Podcast fanatic, though. I know there are alternative ways to download them, but iTunes makes it easy. Also, you can't beat iTunes if you are desperate for a TV show episode. $.99c isn't hard to justify. But, of course, I torrent when I'm not desperate.
I have an iPod. It's actually the first model ever made. :guilty: But I still buy many albums. I want some sort of hardware you know? and the album art is part of the experience for me.
There are times where you do actually need to go out and buy the music or whatever. I am a supporter of buying PC games from the store, exception is ROMs.
