Still too damn expensive. +bandwidth = worse.
What's it go for in the States? @R1 per song I may be persuaded to pirate less...
R1 or 1 Dollor?

For an extra R10 roughly I can get the album from Kalahari with free delivery, and can play it in my car. No thanks SA iTunes...

$11,99... or R106,0156 in Google's currency exchange [as of a few minutes ago]...
Aah... sorry, missed the pic above - which is for the Deluxe version...

Was R156.00, now R119.00...
I hear you - I was the same... I liked seeing my CD collection physically growing.... I liked having something physical in my hands, that I could page through etc. etc...
But then I bought a few songs through iTunes, just a few quick, "impulse" buys... And it was on my laptop, iPad and iPhone after a few minutes, right there and then, to be listened to... And then I realised that whereas before, I would have had to carry the hifi and actual CD's out to the braai area, and have people physically insert CD's one by one.... it was so tedious. Which made the move to MP3's so much easier... But it never sat right with me, the whole piracy thing... I much preferred buying the CD, and ripping it on to the PC, with all the proper information updated and everything as it was supposed to be... But iTunes changed all of that for me - being able to pay for it, and get it there and then, and have my music with me everywhere, all the time, through MATCH, if I wanted it... that pretty much sealed the deal...
Don't think I'll be buying a CD again... I even found Moses Metro Man's new album on the iTunes US store - I mean, WTF?! I couldn't believe it.... Joy
