Just a quick toss to online sellers of music (iTunes excepted).
Using a free trial for Napster's online music service, I've been listening to a lot of great music that I would never have found in the past. And for whatever reason, I kind of like Iron Maiden. Who woulda thought?
For example, their "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son" album is great. So great that I'm considering buying it. Let's see... 8 tracks, (seven might have been more appropriate, but whatever...) $.99 a track, that's $7.92. Not too shabby. Let's just click on the buy album button... which says the album costs $13.95...

Hmmmm, somethin' wrong here...

So I checked Windows Media... Somewhere in Time, by Iron Maiden... 8 tracks, $.99 each, buy album... $12.87? And the same deal for Seventh Son?
So I checked iTunes, where rationality reared its head. 8 tracks, $.99 each. Buy album? $7.92. Now if only I could play their tracks on a portable besides the iPod... Maybe I'll try eBay. ;-)
