	Respectfully disagree. I think it's getting harder to find good, thoughtful, balls-to-the-wall action writing anymore. -----signature----- "This will be our reply to violence: To make music more intensely, More beautifully, More devotedly than ever before." - Leonard Bernstein

	Mastadge posted: This is a loud robust score -- I'd recommend not iTunes for this one. Am I missing something? I've only been using iTunes for the past few weeks (and only then to transfer my CDs to my ipod), so I wouldn't know its strengths and weaknesses too well. -----signature----- "There are people who have said that I'm being brave for being openly supportive of gay marriage, gay adoption- basically of gay rights- but with all due respect I humbly dissent.

	In generally, iTunes compression is not all that great. Small file sizes, but low bitrates (128 kbps) (if it's marked iTunes Plus, it's 256 kbps, so a bit better). Maybe okay for pop music or blasting over a car speaker system, but as far as getting full range and level of detail in an intricate instrumental piece, forget it. I go with iTunes sometimes because of price or convenience, but any music I consider must-have, I'll track down the CD. I've been burned more than once by getting a score from iTunes and finding it sounding flat or just not working for me, only to find that it's much more robust and clear when I hear it from a better source. That said, there are some scores I've gotten from iTunes that sound perfectly fine to me, so it's really a crapshoot. But both Stardust and Ratatouille, for instance, didn't work for me until I heard them not from iTunes. -----signature----- "This will be our reply to violence: To make music more intensely, More beautifully, More devotedly than ever before." - Leonard Bernstein

	If its music you feel you must own you should always track down the cd. I recently had a computer crash and lost everything I bought from iTunes. $68 down the drain. I learned my lesson, always buy cds. -----signature----- "The Magical Mystery Tour is waiting to take you away"

	Whitey posted: I'll probably buy this on iTunes. His Rambo suite on his myspace sounds fantastic as well. Plus, he's hot. Uh, I meant handsome in a straight way. "His" Rambo suite? He forgot to credit the original composer of 2/3 of that track, Jerry Goldsmith. Who was not hot, but was a great composer, as opposed to the flash in the pan, Brian Tyler. Here's hoping Tyler's career ends now. -----signature----- Hope your special day is filled with fun and adventure!
