I think emusic is only mp3 files. I suspect a lot of folks around here
prefer to buy lossless (FLAC?).  I personally still buy the CD, rip to
FLAC (and mp3 for lossy portables).  I'd buy downloads more often if
they were lossless (FLAC, etc.) and weren't crazy priced (and I was
confident that the rips, etc. were securely done....although things can
now check accuraterip values after the fact, eg. PerfectTunes
(dbpoweramp) or Foobar2000).
