I hope it's available on other popular sites preferably in WAV format. ***** Hey each to their own, but I wouldn't knock iTunes so much myself. For me iTunes = a reasonably fair, equitable arrangement for both artist and industry (no industry, no artist and vice versa, remember?) in which everybody who produces gets paid something as opposed to everybody who produces doing it for free - as in 'illegal downloads'. Also, regarding the quality, whilst ITMS files are ostensibly in 128kbps format, in fact, with Apple's proprietary 'AAC/m4a' (version of mp3) in reality using an average bit-rate, '128' can often mean rates up to 256. (The info is all on the web). Also, with the iTunes 'Producers Package', original master files from which the consumer files are copied are at a very good resolution, again raising the final quality - as I say, if you geek-out enough you can find all this - but people often say ITMS songs 'sound better' than 128, and certainly a lot of the ones I have heard do. (Clearly, I don't work for Apple, by the way! Just wanted to give a fair, balanced view.) Ken
