Wal-Mart is selling songs at 88 cents a pop, which is a great

I asked a rep, he said they're at 128 kbps.
Is it me, or is that "CD quality" wording a total crock of Shiite? I've used ogg for so long, I dunno how good the MP3Pro format sounds. But last I listened, a 128 original MP3 sounded much worse than even a good radio. Comments?

I'm surprised that you're going to believe anything that would come out of the mouth of a Walmart sales rep. Shame shame, Tux knows your name!

Hey, Walmart are one of the few companies out there not under the microsoft thumb..
they are pushing linux and "trying" to make a go of it..
whatever their weakness's they should be given credit for helping "our" cause...
The trick is as Stephen said, don't believe anything the rep told you, the chances are he made it up cos he didn't know....
Wouldn't they be asking for trouble if they advertised as "cd quality" and then sold something that is measurably not??
