Mine has 9,800 tracks on it.
About 140 (I think) will be iTMS sourced DRM protected music.
About 120 of those were free Single of the Week downloads, which didn't
cost me a penny, and I just download and keep because I can and might
sometimes like the music. As a result of SotW, I saw the Modern live,
thus supporting the band.
The bought songs were Ulladubulla (remixed War of the Worlds), bought to
see what iTMS was like, some Atom & His Package tracks from compilations
(obscure artist), and the Pixies track that was (thankfully) only
released on iTMS.
