I still mostly buy CDs and rip them to FLAC. I also buy FLAC or ALAC downloads directly from some artists' web sites, and occasionally from sites like WOMAD and HDTracks. I'm not sure I can hear the difference between FLAC and the 256kbps MP3 that a lot of places sell, but the prices work out about the same, so I'd prefer to have lossless.
If I want to get a single (say, to perfectly fill in a gap in a party mix) I'll buy the MP3 from Amazon.com. I have 100 or so tracks from eMusic that I got for free via coupons I received as a promotion. Other than that, I've never seen the need to go back there. How does their subscription model for buying music work? I'm familiar with subscriptions for "renting" music on-demand, such as Rhapsody, MOG, and Spotify. I subscribe to both Rhapsody and MOG to explore music that I may be interested in buying, or just listening to for a while until I get bored with it and move on. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98363 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
