But it sure is making its distribution and licensing model look archaic. I'd buy music from an industry-supported "AllOfMp3.com" in a second. I just want the music I want at an affordable price (US$0.20 a track sounds right) in the format/quality I want. Is that so much to ask?

I think the money was pouring in far too easily for too many years and it's time that the music industry stopped crying foul and join the party. They would make even more money if they focused on the technology and what is driving the sales these days Vs. always focusing on the negative. Mark,
