Sounds like the iTunes business model only works for Apple - not for the 
artists, not for the labels ... not for me as a consumer (for the opposite 
reason to the others).

Well I'll be heading to Liverpool tomorrow for a few days, maybe I'll buy 
some good old-fashioned CDs direct from the artists while I am there ;-)

Did we ever get a roll-call of which Auditeers will be at IPO Liverpool (I 
remember Matt Whitby said he was going)?  I'm there from 25th to 27th, 
staying in the Premier Lodge in Vernon Street (Liverpool city centre).  If 
you want to know what I look like, in case you want to say hello,
