I watched the season premiere of "The Voice" with Qiao tonight. I was quite impressed by several of the singers. There's one song (a cover of Nirvana's "Come As You Are") that I would even pay to download... the show's website has it for sale on iTunes. Hmmm.
After a bit of research, it seems that all music currently being sold on iTunes is DRM-free, and that it is in the AAC format, which can be converted to MP3. So I should be able to download it and play it on my music player of choice. However, in order to buy a song from the site, you need to have iTunes installed, and I have no intention of installing iTunes on my computer. So I'll just post a YouTube video of the song here instead. It seems silly for a site to require you to have a program installed, in order to buy something from them. Back when the iTunes songs included DRM, it made sense that you needed a special player for them. But I don't understand why buying music from iTunes still requires having the iTunes program installed.
