3G downloads wold be great!! Very much appreciated, but... more expensive tracks. Depends.

I was happy with paying the premium for the higher bit rate tracks. 99p as opposed to 79p was still low enough for me to not even really think about it. But if it starts pushing towards £1.50, thats when i start thinking about the purchase.

Same with Apps from the app store. £1.19.. I dont even think about it! I've paid that for apps i've deleted after a day, but more than that and i tend not to download unless its a AAA title.(SimCity, Rolando, i'm looking at you)

Most of the Top 40 stuff sucks anyway. Everything I buy from the iTunes store is either old or indie, so this likely won’t effect me much. iPhone 3G downloads, however, would be VERY cool!

3g downloads sounds about right. The problem with apple pricing to high is that you still have to make a hard copy. Everyone who has fubared there laptop, loosing iTunes knows you only make that mistake once.

It is well to easy to download off the tinternet and transfer to iTunes for free, hell it's the easiest way to make your iPhone ringtones for one. If they want this to stop apple need to stop ripping people off; it's a freakin download it should be half the price of a hard copy not more.

3g downloads would be brilliant, but I think I would rather have say a flash player or better 3g reception.

I was hooked at 3G as well. Variable pricing would be good especially if older stuff is cheaper. I have found a few good cheap albums that compare well to shop prices but generally, iTunes tends to be more expensive. I’d expect to pay slightly less for a download but it’s not always the case (Batman is more expensive as a download).

99 cents was acceptable, but now I will just order my albums from amazon. Same concept I can easily order them while am at home and recieve them with in two days. And I prefare having the CD album then the digital one anyways.

What about the hundreds of .m4p songs I already own? Will iTunes unlock these for me so I dont have to do the CD-R crack?

This will actually spur more Blackberry sales.
