Absolutely agree with you Mel, some of the import CDs (especially Europe House) are ridiculously overpriced.

Sorry if my last post was vague but I am all for dwnldng MP3s and I am sad to see AG go.

What I shoulda included in my last post was that it's a hell of alota trouble to get the songs you want off the radio and into an order that you're happy with, let alone the probs with quality as you brought up.

I read somewhere that the artists get less than 50c for each CD sold, the CDs themselves can't cost more than $1 each so apart from shipping/packaging/marketing where does the rest of the money go?
Now if there was a way that the artists could sell direct to the public for a substantially lower price...
