With that much disk space I want full tilt best quality copies on the thing since I am not trying to keep all my music since that's why I got a 200 gig hard disk on the Mac. If they would let us buy 160 AAC format off the site I might do more than try out one or two songs to decide if I want to go buy the album.

However, there are instances where iTunes won't release certain songs as singles where I won't buy the whole digital album. Actually, that may not be Apple's decision, even though users tend to blame iTunes in the site comments. Anyway, I think if I could buy more single songs, by more offered artists, I'd probably never buy another whole hard copy CD again. Now that I have iTunes, I RARELY buy a hard copy CD.
