nicketynick has stated the core issue. people want to buy lossless files and they don't want to pay the same amount as a physical cd because it's obviously highway robbery. therefore, currently allofmp3 is the best alternative. i don't want to go to the cd store anymore (even though I once

Well, I hope you're right, and EMI (and other labels will follow) agrees there is money to be made. It would be a good thing! (and would involve a different sort of 'killing' than the Russian mafia might partake in :-P ) -- nicketynick Wireless SB3, Denon DRA-F101, Mission M31 loudspeakers

I've bought a bunch from a local pawn shop. This brings up an ethical point. Since the artist receives no $$ from the sale is this really kosher? What if I rip the disc and then sell it back to the pawn shop? BD -- bdelp
