I use iTunes a lot as I buy most of my music through their store front. I basically am forced to seeing as I have an iPhone, personally I prefer the Zune software. Moving on, there has to be some sort of legal action that could done for what basically amounts to destroying someones property. Thanks for the heads up.

I really like it. I've never been into the whole iTunes thing. The truth is with iTunes you don't own any of the music you purchase; they are just leasing it to you.

If I cant find a 320 to download then I use limewire. If they cant offer me that quality then they lose my sale. One reason I dont buy from itunes is because I only buy tracks that are at 320kbps.

Backup or not you can get the songs back without purchashing them. Account Information Purchase History Report a problem request to redownload songs you lost(doesn't matter the reason) Up to 24 hours later your songs will start to download when you open Itunes up. I don't care if you go to Amazon or not. Just giving you your options that are available. I have never had a problem like you are describing. "I knew they were there before and too make sure I wasn’t crazy, I logged into the iTunes store and guess what I saw? The completed album had been changed to a partial album. I checked to see what tracks were missing and low and behold, tracks 12 and 15 were gone" Is this what actually happened or is this theory you are throwing up in the air? Regardless if Apple is at fault or not you can retrieve them either way without being charged for it. Tor,
