Well I'm running my computer anyway when I'm playing music, and I would
pay for my adsl anyway so I'm just getting some more value out of these
:-)

ahh the days of dialup... I remember them, just about.

I could get really pedantic here and point out petrol costs, especially
as we rarely go shopping anywhere that isn't a supermarket. (Yes I know
they sell cds there but they don't often have a great range)

Pedanticness (is that a word? pedanticity?) aside, the real appeal for
me is that I can just select songs that I have heard on the radio, and
know that I like.  I've bought albums before, having liked a particular
song by the artist, and not particularly liked any of the other songs on
the album.  Its not really about the cost per download, more about the
freedom to build a collection of songs I really like, for a reasonable
price. :-)
