I got my 30 gig iPod last night. So now I own 3 - a 5 gig, a 10 gig and a new 30 gig. I must say, the new one is pretty sa-weeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

Diff'rent strokes for different folks. I like actually "owning" the music, which means unlimited burning and playing whenever I want to listen, like in the car. If you spend most of your music listening time in front of the computer, then a streaming service makes perfect sense.

Apple's adding new music "as fast as we can rip it". Expect that total to get to 300,000 shortly. Pretty much every label is dying to get on it, which means that very shortly, their selection is going to be far superior to pretty much anything out there. I agree though, both need more songs.

I read an interesting stat - Apple's music service sold, in the first 18 hours, more songs than all the other music services have sold in the last 6 months - combined.
