I don't know about y'all but personally I think that buying music online @ 128kbs is a rip-off.
My reasining being (based on totally personal views and observations): you download music @ 128kbs and you are aware it's not an excellent quality, but "quite good enough".
Now, if I were to buy the music online I would excect at least the same quality I get on CD; so let's say, a 256kbs or more MP3 would be reasonable. And it would be reasonable for me to do the same thing with that music as I do with my CDs: (re)encode the to OGG, put them on my computer/stereo/car player/portable player/take them to a (private) party with me... If I paid for it, I'll make damn sure others are not getting it for free.
Please note: I am not aware of any of the sites selling music that offer this kind of service, so don't pls don't rampage about that.
