Well, if you want me to refer you I'll have to do it before I cancel my account, which at this rate will probably be before the end of the free trial period.
I know what you mean about paying more for CD quality. I resent paying 99p for an mp3 when it's relatively possible to buy a CD for about that much per track. But in this case, consider: you get 25 or 50 free tracks depending on how you join the site, so you have an infinite multiplier. And when you start paying for tracks, 25 cents per track is probably less than a third of the price you can reasonably expect to pay per track for CD. Plus, these are really high bitrate mp3s, generally about 192k. I don't know whether that's still not good enough for you though. Me, I can't hear the loss the way I used to be able to with the old 50-80k mp3s that predominated when few people had broadband.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
