The songs are not as good of quality as what you can find in torrents, and the licence which is digitally attached to the song always tells me I am not allowed to play a given song on the computer because it is not an "authorized machine". This is my only PC. It's crap. If they think Im going to pay money for songs that don't work when I can get better sounding ones that do for free, they need to look in the mirror.

I actually find iTunes offerings at least as good or better than anything available from other legitimate or illegitimate sources. The biggest gripe I have about iTunes music is the inability to play it off any non-iPod device or non-iTunes supporting computer. AAC is just a better compression algorithm than MP3, so from the same source and both compressed to the same size, the AAC one will have less loss.
