So what about Wippit?
Quote:
Do you have MP3's?
We do. We also have WMA's which are Windows operating system specific
and require a Wippit registration in order to play them. In fact its
highly likely that we’ll your favourite act on iPod ready MP3 right now.
What can I do with the files? Burn them to CD?
You can burn them to CD, transfer to your portable media player, stream
them to network media player or just enjoy them from your PC. Wippit MP3
files are iPod compatible and completely unrestricted. WMA files can be
transferred to any Windows compatible portable player but not iPod’s. We
recommend you burn WMA files to CD using Windows Media Player 9 or higher.
Say that again – they’re iPod compatible?
Wippit’s MP3 files are iPod compatible but the WMA’s are not. If you’d
prefer to search for only MP3’s you can do so using the File Format
option on Wippit Advance Search.

So her only choice is iTMS? Bollocks. If someone wants to purchae MP3s
for an iPod they do not HAVE to use iTMS
