You're paying for 256k MP3's? I can barely stand listening to 320k MP3.
I can't understand paying for music provided in a lossy format. Or maybe I'm not understanding Amazon's solution. If, along with the MP3, you also receive the original PCM stream which you can transcompress as you see fit, then that would be cool. Like flac, ape, shn and wavpack or recent TTA (True-Audio) format which is open source. And even MPEG-4 ALS or SLS formats (not sure if decoder is yet available for any common players). And there are the proprietary lossless formats. Of course for downloading from iTunes Apple ALAC (decoding only) . And the WMAL (closed source) format. At any rate isn't 256k MP3 going backwards? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob Hudson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Eugene Unix and Gnu/Linux User Group" <euglug@euglug.org> Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2008 8:48 PM Subject: Re: [Eug-lug] AmazonMp3 store For single songs they let you just download the mp3 straight via the browser. For full albums you need the downloader. Nice to know it works on Linux. I've been preferring Amazon/mp3 over iTunes Store lately just b/c they're DRM free and higher quality 256k encoded. -Rob _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list euglug@euglug.org http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
