My first iTunes purchase.

Got Itzhak Perlman’s performance of Sarsate and Paganini pieces. This whole iTunes thing is dangerously easy. It still seems like a better deal to go the discount music store and get cheap cd’s and import them as apple lossless. That’s not to say 128kbps AAC doesn’t pretty damn good.
