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). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98363 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
