>>>>>>I have a friend who is looking for an MP3 player for her daughter. What are some options with downloading music? Obviously, Ipod\Itunes but 99 cents a pop can get a little expensive, especially for a young child who's tastes change constantly. Can anybody recommend any subscription-based players or plans?

>>>Hmmmm... So, according to many here, you and I should never be allowed to discuss anything that illegal aliens do in our country because we use Limewire and I have slept in a public park. That was apropos of nothing really, but I still get a kick out of other person's logic with regards to comparing minior crap to others breaking into our country and stealing our money. I know, I hijacked your thread... Sorry.

Wrong. To them, stealing music is much worse than multiple mass murders (MMM).

With MMM, they lose what, 15, 20, probably less than 100 customers. With music stealing, they believe they're losing a lot more than that. Hey, they gotta keep their eyes on the bottom line ...
