Last I heard, hanging out with Verizon completely misunderstanding the nature of digital music distribution (in that you want to go with the most exposure not the least).
There are certain artist unwilling to go to iTunes.
AC/DC are one of them. Not only is giving up control to your content to these guys worse than any record company deal regarding accountability of your royalties (and that's saying something)...but...maybe a simple quote will answer your question: ----------------------------------------- ""We don't make singles, we make albums," says guitarist Angus Young. "Way back in the Seventies, we drew these figures on the back of an envelope for our record company.
"We showed them how much they earned from us if we sold one million singles and how much they earned if we sold one million albums. The difference was staggering.
-------------------- iTunes is not about performer's rights or royalties. It's an extension of the Old System (record company), except with even less control and more scope for not getting paid your dues by the same machine working against the artists.
"That was to get them off our back because we only very grudgingly release singles. Our real reason is that we honestly believe the songs on any of our albums belong together."
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.

ACDC.

Doesn't AC/DC more or less have to do with your sexual preferences rather than a rock band?
On Amazon for around 10 bucks an album.
Seriously, what's so hard about this?
Never hate on AC/DC.
