Umm, doesn't a bottle of Pepsi cost more than $1? Doesn't seem like you're getting anything for free. You're paying for the song many times over. The Pepsi probably costs about 2 cents, including plastic and distribution. Might as well just buy directly from Apple. If you don't care about quality of course. Otherwise you would likely not bother. At least there's software out there now to convert the (DRM) AAC to an AIFF. Beats the old standby of burning a CD then re-ripping and encoding. I just keep buying CDs on eBay and ripping them myself. Bruno
