Blah, if they offered those prices all the time, I'd be there in a heartbeat, as it stands, its still about the same price for an album.
I am confused: how is it same price if Real is offering albums at half the price of Apple? I just checked and the albums are half price.

Re: RE: RealNetworks slashes song prices...

I mean, the regular price to buy 14 songs online is roughly the price of an album in stores. I can just buy the album at the store, then I get the CD and I can rip and encode it at any speed I want. Screw these fansy schmansy proprietary codecs. Just give me mp3's at a high bitrate.

Ok, gotcha and I agree with you. I tend to rip most of my songs anyway. Nevertheless, have you tried the AAC format encoded at 192/48Khz? I must say I am impressed since it does sound a bit better than MP3 encoded at 192. IMHO, AAC has nicer imaging and a bit more realistic sound (but only at the higher bit rates).
