and another thing...thank you Sirius-XM for taking a decent metal station and turning it into Metallica 24/7. What the hell was that about? No more money from me.

There are sites out there, based outside the U.S., which have distribution rights for music in their host countries and sell for substantially less per track than the label-pressured merchants of America. Why should big megacorps like Wal-Mart be the only ones who benefit from reduced costs abroad? When the tracks are available for 9 cents apiece, screw Apple and Amazon and all their ilk.
