That said, and coming from a Mac user and iPod owner, I don't understand the success of the iTMS. I don't consider myself an audiophile but I am a big fan of music. I don't understand the logic behind paying $10 for a sub-par copy of an album, that you're also RESTRICTED from using/copying/playing as you see fit. Why wouldn't I pay the extra $3-4 for the real CD minus any DRM?

You can buy a lot of music from yourmusic.com for $5.99 an album with no shipping or handling costs. I understand convenience since I subscribe to Rhapsody, but the cost per song on iTunes is too high for the reasons you mentioned.
