ok, you're not quite right on iTunes, although I can't tell you a thing about the others.
tech: iTunes sells their songs in .AAC which is the audio codec from mp4, I believe (if I'm wrong, sorry). .aac will play natively in iPods, I'm not sure about other players. you CAN burn & rip the songs as mp3's though.
Price: in general, a buck a song, a 10spot an album. no subscription.
library: check out apple.com
your song will be licenced to play on 2 boxes. you tell apple what the other box is. check out their site, I believe there's a description on it. I'd elaborate but i'm late for rclass!!
