I should be able to go to a record company site and buy say 5 tracks for $10 on my credit card in any format I want (probably Windows .WAV uncompressed) from their *entire* back catalog -- every song, every out-take, every B-side, everything. I would gladly pay for this, I've been trying to do so long before Napster or MP3 existed, and AFAIK no record company has implemented it. Right now I have a much better chance of getting the same 5 songs easily, freely, and illegally off P2P networks. The record companies still need to get a clue.
