IIRC, Apple encourages the $9.99 album, but it's not a requirement. However, 
the cost of a full CD can't be greater than$.99 x the # of songs.

I think the iTunes store is very cool, but I haven't bought anything there 
yet. A CD at Everybody's is barely more expensive, and I can rip at whatever 
bitrate I choose, now and in the future. I might grab a few singles after 
reading through the celebrity playlists, though.

For first-time iTunes folks, especially those with large mp3 libraries, 
definitely try out the Smart Playlists. Tons of great possibilities. For 
instance, I have a SP that selects 25 songs that haven't played in the last 
week, have a track number higher than 6, and last less than 6 minutes. If 
you dislike a song that pops up, just delete it and a new one takes its 
place. Or, delete all the songs in the list, and iTunes pulls up a whole new 
set. Cool.

Beware the iPod, though. Like Tivo, once you get used to having your entire 
CD collection in your pocket, you'll never want to lug around your CDs 
again.
