Love my touch

I have a 2nd gen ipod touch and after owning ipods previously, this was a breath of fresh air, I was pretty skeptical, and didnt know if id like it, but was surprised indeed. Only downside would be Itunes tie in, but I actually use it quite a bit now that its DRM free (and that it has an absolutely unrivaled catalog, and it happens to carry alot of jam music/electronica that I listen to).

Sound quality isnt the best ever, but its a freaking mp3 player, I have my denon/paradigm setup for critical listening.

I am surprised with how much fanfare Apple announced its iTunes Plus initiative, and how slim its catalog in Japan is. Most of the labels here still publish most of the stuff with DRM. And of course I buy none of that junk.

its too bad that every country has to make things so different (see difficult) that we cant all have great experiences from services no matter where we call home.

I remember in the 1980s, my friends around Tokyo would rent cassettes and make copies right away. So few people would see this as a problem so it's no wonder that they're still concerned about copy protection. I thought that even Avex removed protection from its CDs, though.
