so now napster has teamed up with 3 major record companies to provide mp3s on a subscibtion service. To me this is the stupidist thing ive seen in a while, why would anyone pay good money for inferior sound quality? Bottom line is MP3's have very poor sound quality (and loosless compression) and people like thier trebles high and their bass booming - something that is rare in an MP3. ------------------ "looking for the secret, searching for the sound" --Phil Lesh, Grateful Dead
