But no one's saying you can't go ahead and continue to buy lossy music with format licensing issues, if that's your choice.
Pray tell, what "format licensing issues" have you ever run into with MP3?
As far as Apple/EMI decided on AAC, nothing--NOTHING--in that world happens that isn't 100% to the benefit of them, and perhaps only incidentally of benefit to the customer. And it it's detrimental to the customer, they don't care. Just buy their stuff.
Gee. And MP3 has never been a problem, works well for its intended purpose (does anyone REALLY care about ultimate sound quality from an iPod?), and is ubiquitous.
