 Re: Downloading Classical Music

MP3 can be of excellent quality. It just isn't always encoded that way. Plain MP3s, though, are not encrypted. In any case, my beef isn't with the quality of sound playback. The files you're getting on Rhapsody are not vanilla mp3s. They are streams (which, really, aren't downloads) or DRMed tracks, tracks that can only be played where Rhapsody approves. It's the DRM that causes a lessening of versatility of the tracks. If the record store goes under, you still have unlimited access to your $250 of CDs. If Rhapsody goes under (or changes their policies), you're SOL. Also, you can take your CDs in the car, to a friend's house, etc. Rhapsody ties you to the computer and to certain approved devices. In essence, for no good reason other than "they want it to be that way," you have very little versatility in your listening options.

Granted, it's a step in the right direction. Just not quite there yet.
