agreed. i've recently done this, and though i do like bits of the new OutKast double CD, i didn't buy it, and haven't put it on my iPod. I pretty much only get music from the used shop around the corner and iTunes (which i'm eager to support as a valid model) and i only get new cd's that're from non-riaa-affiliated indie labels.
