Hmm, I don't know why you'd ever prefer an MP3 download to buying a CD?  I mean, it costs relatively the same for the CD, plus the quality is so much better.  And if you want to listen to it on your iPod, you can just upload the disc into your iTunes.  Not sure what the dilemma is about owning the CD, it's definitely way better.


Currently I pay 30 Cents per track at eMusic.com, and today I've downloaded for albums from Amazon.de MP3, each for less than 5 EUR. CDs cost 12-16 EUR in Germany, so these MP3s are definitely much more affordable. Doesn't mean that I spend less though - I'm simply buying more albums.Smile

BTW: I agree that for the same price the CD is the better deal, no doubt about it. But even the most pricey MP3 albums at Amazon.de MP3 are less than 10 EUR (unless it's 2CD box sets), which is still about 60-70% cheaper than the CD.

eMusic is kicking me off their non-standard legacy plan and now I have to pay $11.99 for 30 tracks like everyone else. :( And I keep downloading albums with crappy quality!
 
But in exchange I'm getting Miles Davis?

That's a good deal. You should have him make you sandwiches or something. Maybe serenade you as you go to sleep. Even form a band with him.

To the OP, I am afraid you have been misinformed. There are no rare, legal prog mp3s. Rare prog is so good that it is prohibited by international law, under the Geneva convention. Just the other day the FBI searched my computer to make sure I didn't have any Etron Fou Leloublan. Fortunately I edited all the track information so it appeared to be a Madonna album, but next time they might bring headphones. Don't be like us, man. You got your whole life ahead of you. My buddy's been in prison three times for distributing Magma records, and each time he goes he only ends up getting deeper and deeper into it. Take my advice, man, and stay away. It'll only destroy you, in the end.


Alright, in all seriousness, I have to echo those who have said www.cdbaby.com
Excellent place, and it's normally pretty cheap there as well, at least compared to other sites I've seen.

How did you arrive at the conclusion that these downloads are "crappy quality"? Please, don't say "because they're mp3".Wink
