How To Buy Minecraft With Itunes?

Should an open source freak buy music via itunes? (am I locked in?)

• I prefer to buy my music but I dislike the itunes software and I don't think the itunes site communicates clearly wether music I buy can be ported to other platforms. Instead it's a lot of iClod and apple only solutions. I prefer lossless (flac) and/or hq ogg vorbis, but none of the big stores use these formats. But even if they did, My country has neither acces to amazon nor google music stores. AAC is not such a big problem, but it bugs my that there is no other solution available. So I can either pirate, vpn to amazon or buy from itunes. As itunes is the only legal choice - there is no real discussion. But if the music is not in a high quality and easily useable on e.g. my android phone or linux boxes then I rather just use combinations of spotify, cd's and piratebay. Or is there any other music stores with a broad selection of tracks, that is available internationally?

• Answer:

  There was a time when music on iTunes was contained DRM, but those days are long gone. Most of, if not all of, the music you can buy on iTunes now is DRM free. Every song I've purchased on the service in the last few years have played on all my Android devices, work fine when uploaded to Google Play, play fine on any computer I've put them on, been used as a ringtone, and even worked with games that like AudioSurf. I've even streamed music off my Mac Pro via Motocast to my Android phone that was Bluetooth paired with a Microsoft Sync system on a Ford F250 in the remote regions of Northern Canada effortlessly. The only thing to note is that the e-mail address of the AppleID you purchased the song with is attached to the song. Pros in your case to by music on iTunes Easy to do so Probably better for the environment than CD's You're pretty free to do as you please with the music Music works on more platforms that FLAC or OGG Cons in your case to by music on iTunes Your e-mail address maybe known to undesired people if you're not careful
