[gui-talk] BMG music site

Not to start an audio debate or anything, but even music compressed at 
256 kbps like what Amazon offers for sale, is still compressed music. 
It's not the real thing IMHO and I'd rather just pay for the CD with the 
real cover art and the original recordings.

Of course, some of the music now-a-days is so over-modulated that even 
compressed at 256 kbps mp3 is about the best you'll get, but still... I 
guess I'm stuck on actual CDs from the actual recording companies <smile>.
