Surfpunk & Copious K9,there are programs out there that you can buy or even get for free off the net that cenverts MP3's to Wav format.Then if someone wanted to they can burn them to cd and listen to them in their home,car or portable cd players.I think its wrong that you can download entire albums and do this.I use Napster,but not for this purpose.I try to find demos,live and unreleased tracks by bands I like.Thats what I have on my PC also,I have nothing on here you can go out and purchase at a retail store.I have talked to alot of people on Napster and
most of the ones are looking for the same thing.I think Mp3's can be a great help for bands starting out.You can reach literally billions of people around the world.
Major labels are suppose to have downloads available by the end of the year,
choose what cd and then choose what songs you want off that cd.Either all or one or how ever many.So once that starts then nobody should complain about paying for entire cd and only liking 2 songs,download the ones you like.Before you know it,won't even have to go to the grocery store,do it all on-line.
