fictional "good needle drop" version
thetijuanataxi said:And what you have is a compressed CDR, a home made label, a blank jewel case and probably inferior sound quality to a good needle drop. Is THAT what we campaigned all this time for in this and Wendell's forum. Paying for something we could already do potentially better for free? It's no wonder they didn't release these titles as CDs. Enough people here seem to be satisfied with do it yourself CD kits. Am I alone here, or does anyone see how unacceptable this is? Not only for these releases but for music in general. Convenience CAN"T be worth giving up all the art, personal touch and spirit that goes in to legitimate CD and LP releases? If this is the future of the music industry than I feel very sad. Even sadder that there is apparently little resistance to it.

No stoppin' it, folks. Our grandparents lamented the demise of the Victrola.
That's all well and good if you happen to live in the USA. The rest of us don't have the option of downloading the albums, so I think we have a right to complain.Harry said:OK, so what are the choices? One can accept the situation, bite the bullet, go to iTunes, download the albums, and join the party. Or one can sit back and complain that it's not fair, it's not good, and it's not acceptable.
But to so many of us, buying music is buying an object, not buying access to a file.
And a compressed-sounding file at that.

At least installing iTunes wasn't a total loss for me. I was able to download the Corrs "Goodbye" EP that is unfairly denied to fans in the USA.

Maybe I'm missing something, but you should be able to type in any song title from the album you're looking for (or the album title, but Volume 2 is such a common title that the song title is probably easier in this case) and there should be nothing to do with Wal Mart, Clinton, Napster or anything else.
Keep in mind, you have to be using either a Mac or a Windows computer to use iTunes. If you're in Linux or Unix, it won't work.
