I couldn't agree with Jeff Atwood more. The iTunes store has way more in common with circa-1996 AOL then it does with the modern web. And it infuriates me to no end. Sure, music from Amazon's MP3 store is superior in quality, lacks DRM, and has a cheaper ticket price. But when I'm deciding where to buy MP3's, Amazon's open-web model makes my decision that much easier.
Whaddya think?
