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. >----- What I've hear is the biggest problem - musicwise - is >that single sales are dropping.

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. >Like you I've expanded my tastes >and bought a lot more CDs than I had pre-Napster.

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 ;-).
