Q: How do I remove app from purchased list? Never want to use it again.

Nope, don't think you're a crotchety old man - hard to tell on the Internet anyways. I agree with your point about the music - I've seen the same complaints and had the same thought as you. Everyone has to take some responsibility (which was also a point you were making earlier re the current issue).

I think the new service is fantastic, and a lot of people in my office have been raving about it - so kudos to apple for adding it in. Now they just need to tweak it to make it that little bit better. I was going to say "and everyone will be happy", but that's a bit too optimistic I think.

Happy ipadding back.
