<title>Amazon/Itunes</title>
<description> Just out of curiosity, are you better buying mp3's from Amazon or Itunes as in is the sound quality better if you buy from one or the other?

I am surprised that amazon or iTunes has jumped out on the mass market with lossless downloads. HD Tracks has gotten a lot of classic rock of late but they deal in real highend files and the price is nuts. I wish frontiers and othe MR labels would sell lossless direct. Even if server space is an issue sell it in a queue like format...I'll wait. Plus by cutting out the middle man with digital the label would get more money per sale. Keep iTunes and amazon for general sales for older fans. Of in the know]]></description>
