I love Apple and iTunes is genius. But...
I love Apple. Both my husband, a principal software architect and I believe Steve Jobs is a genius. The only product that evaded his golden touch was Next. That was because of a bad choice of chip, says Nicolas.
Everyday I wake up, have breakfast and get ready for the long commute to my home office. My main instrument is a 17" screen PowerBook. Apple's iTunes are helpful, but most of my collection consists of my own CDs. The reason is simple: there is no Chico Buarque, the man any woman in Brazil would fall and faint if face-to-face. There was one Edu Lobo, the Sergio Mendes presents. Edu is a genius and another songwriter who could keep me company on a rainy night.
Edu Lobo spent seven years studying music in Los Angeles. Why can iTunes have special releases of Death Row® records and no Chico Buarque, no Edu, don't say Brazil doens't count -- No Bee Gees oldies, such as "I Started a Joke, Massachusetts, all those tear-jerkers aren't part of iTunes catalogue.
Hey, you guys! We are the parents of the kids downloading from iTunes. What if we decide to cut back on their disposable income? We could, I don't see people happy after the increase in fed rates.
Then what? Pretty please heed my genius husband. Apple is getting too très kewl for its own good. Feed us some gizmos before retirement. Then we won't afford Apple anyway ...

If you agree with my point of view, at least Apple has an adreess. Google doens't :)
I am also a Mac-a-phile, our office currently has 5 active Macs performing certain tasks, but I don't bother with the iTunes store. For reasons you say, but also because I like having a CD booklet as a tangible object. I actually miss vinyl records because these were even more fun to contemplate while the music played. Plus the bitrate on iTunes downloaded tunes is too low for my ears.
Also, I think Apple has two things in the pipeline. Something called Asteroid, which is a firewire recording device for musicians (I think), and there is also rumor of an Apple branded cell phone.
Apple is the BOMB. I totally agree.
