1) You're not allone. I hate MP3 too!
2) It's maybee for free in the USA, in Europe you have to pay at least
the
phone-bill. (And downloading takes ages).
3) MP3s are for free on the 'underground' and 'illegal' sites. And they
are
constantly changing their URL since they're often kicked of the
server from
the providers.. So before finding the right song, you have to surf
for an
hour to find it....
4) The easy access sites are mostly commercial. So you have to pay a
price for
the song.
