Mary Esther, FL | What format?
If I were to purchase something online, give me the .wav not a compressed mp3 This is a good idea but it's not near cd quality.

Re: What format?
A .wav file would be like a 50mb for a 5 minute song. |

I certainly wouldn't mind FLAC being available, but a high quality (256kbps or better with LAME encoding) mp3 is pretty damn good. So much popular music isn't even recorded well enough for it to matter that much in the first place.
So few people actually care about quality. Look around for surveys about satellite radio. The majority of people think XM and Sirius are CD quality! To me they both sound like an 80kbps mp3, with XM's "distorting" in a more tolerable way (but still bad). I realize most cars don't have great speaker systems, but yikes! |

The problem lies in the "rippers" lack of technical experience in doing so.
Now days it is even easier
