Minus the exclusive albums, don't ever buy CDs from iTunes. "But it's so convenient," right? Well, why don't you think about how much the artist makes? It is a
FACT that artists make less money when you buy their CD off of iTunes. Granted: it doesn't matter so much for the bigger artists, but what about those kick-ass, lesser-knowns that are making squat because you downloaded their album from iTunes? HELL- I'm sure you can probably get that band's actual album from their website! Oh and remember: if you have the CD, you don't need to worry about losing it in a computer crash. Aaaand you get the actual album art, case, CD... I think I rest my case. So, WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW?! Pass the word on! Stop helping the labels grow, when it's the artist who really deserves the cash!
