Well, I finally bought something on iTunes. Yeah, I know I'm late to the game, but it's not without just cause. I refused to buy anything from iTunes for a long time until the DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection was removed from legal music that I purchased. Now that iTunes has mostly (Not everything yet) gone DRM-free/iTunes Plus, this makes the iTunes store way more appealing to someone such as myself.
So what did I buy? Nothing in the top 10, that's for sure. I bought songs from two of "Entertainment System"'s albums, some songs from "Dr. Wily And The Robot Masters", some songs from "Retro Remix Revue" and one Tetris remix song from Pronobozo.
I'm pretty satisfied with my purchases.
As you might notice, all the songs are old video game tunes remixed or performed on instruments. Other music I acquire is usually imported from Korea or Japan, or just downloaded. iTunes sometimes (okay, most of the time) doesn't have what I'm looking for.
My only complaint about iTunes for buying digital music would be this: I want it to work like Steam, a digital video game distribution store. Once you buy something, it's stored in your account. Even if you lose your computer or accidently delete something, you can always just find your games in Steam and have them redownload and install for FREE. iTunes seems to put the burden of backing up music on its customers, which I don't think is necessary.
Here are the links to the groups' music I downloaded:
