I have noticed that last.fm and similar sites have links which take the user directly to a part of the iTunes store, such as an album page. The URL for the link is created by last.fm.

As I understand it, a flattened icon has no transparencies, but mine does. My dilemma is this. If I flatten the icon and resubmit the app, I lose a...
