RE: MP3

>>With near quality CD sound...<<

"Near quality" don't cut it. Especially with DVD-Audio discs right around the corner that deliver audio with 10 times the quality of CD.

>>the store bought CD could be obsolete. <<

Don't think so. Reasons are many, will discuss at another time.

>>There are thousands of songs available on the Internet for download, FREE. <<

Yes, and by in large, they are unsigned bands that suck. As bad as some major artists are IMO, the Record Companies do act as a quality filter. How crap like N'Sync and Backstreet Boys creeps through is beyond me.

>Some are illegal, as you are infringing on copyright, but the underground MP3 factories are ripping new MP3's every minute.<<

If true, leads to an astounding lack of morality in regards to theft and copyright law. If MP3 manufacturers and their consumers cannot get along with the Record Companies and the law, they will be put out of business, pronto (or in jail).
