Well, I've used the Audiogalaxy network (on Mac and Wintel) to make more complete my 
collection of music with artists such as Bajm (from Poland) and Joe Hisaishi (from 
Japan), concerning those albums that haven't been transferred to CD or being out of 
stock, even in homeland Japan. As an example, from Bajm I can find 981 song titles on 
record right now through Audiogalaxy, through LimeWire none (only three files of any 
kind). I know where to look for my music.

In that case, blame the invention of the CD in the first place. Or the CD burner. 
Because digitalising things make (illegal) copying so much more effective. OTOH, 
during the analog age I bought 700 LP albums, compared to around 30 singles. Singles 
were and are still a big hassle, not containg enough music to be worthwhile. There 
must be better ways of promoting the artists in your stable.

Well, I've bought two or three CDR productions over eBay. But those were things not 
present on any commercially available production. I e demos or CDs really out of 
print. So I forgive those home burners.

Now, no more talk from me on this slightly off-topic thread, before any list-nanny 
steps in ;-).

Best of wishes
