What music you order on iTunes may not be what you wanted

I download music from Itunes. There are sometimes multiple copies of a song. So which do you choose. As Elmer Fudd on "Looney Toones says "be vewwy vewwy careful.

On iTunes "a careless click may buy you an imposter" by Brian Raftery

Cover story on Jan 2008 Wired p. 84

Interesting article about "re-records" from a label record company called Red Sauce which provides hit songs by a wide range of music artists. Which leads to some error laden downloads from some who are not actually getting the song they really want for the price. Many of the re-songs are the same price as the ones on iTunes (the original ones). For some who do not realize, they pay for that Red Sauce pseudo songs. Most people then don't bother (do they even know how) to try to get their money back but just go ahead with iTunes, search and then buy the one they really wanted.
