What do people recommend as a general music download source that will let me keep the music forever and won't limit my applications? I keep hearing songs on store Muzak that I need to download. I'm more than happy to pay a dollar or so for a song.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
iTunes is offering DRM-free downloads, but that's by no means 100% of their catalogue.
I just got sent home early from teaching krav. Evidently I should go back to sleep.

Do most people really feel like iTunes is that limiting on their use of the music? Perhaps because I have an iPod, and use that as my main method of playback, and rarely burn CDs (except for drag performances), I have generally found iTunes to not be a problem. And if I did have one, I know I could just burn and re-upload the song(s) in question, no?

Our wings are not tired
I have upwards of 1200 tracks purchased through iTunes and I haven't found it particularly limiting on those tracks.

Having to boil water if I want to wash anything in not-frigid water is getting very, very old. I've got the shower routine down, but it's kind of a pain in the ass. And...have to boil vats of water. Gnargh. My huge industrial soup-pot from the dollar store has paid for itself a million times over....

Trust my rage
My brother refuses to buy on iTunes because of the limitations, but I can honestly say it's never stopped me from doing what I wanted to do with my music.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It only recently occurred to me that I'm screwed if I ever wanted to use another mp3 player, that in a sense I'm committed to the iPod forever. But I also wouldn't be surprised if Apple is legally forced to open up their songs to other players (hello, irony).

Yeah, if you burn the songs you've purchased from iTunes as a CD and then rip that CD again? Oh, hey, look what you just did there...

Speaking of elevators and yesterday! One tried to kidnap me! A bunch of us were on it going up, and my floor (7) was the highest. After 6 the readout goes "Z...7...Z ...6...Z ...5...Z ...4...Z ...3...Z ...2...Z ...1...Z ...2...Z ...3...Z ...4...Z ...5...Z ...6...Z ...7! Took me all the way down and back up again, no doors opening until the second time on 7.
I've had several out of control elevator nightmares. Now you're telling me it's real? Well, crap.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I've speant most of the day in the kitchen
- separated the yuck lettuce from the good lettuce and washed the good stuff up to make a salad for Monday work
- banana bread
- shortbread cookies from a mix
- brown rice
and I may still make an apple pie since I found pie crust dough in the freezer.
That and I ran 3 errands, got to hang out with a friend, 2 loads of laundry and no real melt-downs with mac. Possibly one of the best Sundays in a couple of months.
