I understand the POV of those that want "full cd quality" in their songs and all that, but for many of the people that are targetted by the iTunes store, it's really irrelevant to them.
In my case, as an example, I have not listened to an actual CD in years. I've bought more than a few, but literally the first thing I do when I get one is throw it in the powerbook, rip it and get it on my iPod. And then the CD goes in the drawer.
If I want to listen to cd's in teh car, I'll burn a little compilation album from iTunes. My car is so ridiculously loud anyways that any slight quality loss will never be noticed. Likewise for average headphones on an iPod.
So, for a very large portion of folks that just want their music quickly/easily to put on an iPod (or similar), the actual technical specs of compression or quality loss don't mean a thing.
I'm glad the iTunes store is a hit, and when the Windows version comes out (which is being developed by Apple) it will be huge.
