The oddball stuff that I want to be able to find online to see if I like or because I can't find it "legally" isn't available because all the networks are choked with a thousand different poorly ripped and poorly encoded Britney tracks.


I don't generally use P2P. Generally only for things that are out of print and unable to get through other means.

I think my biggest "ARRRGGH!" moment come when I run into things like I linked to in my first rant in this thread: The Rip Slyme CD I can order for just about $20 from Japan costs me almost $40 here. Why? Because they imported me a mylar disk that I'm going to rip then never see again unless I go to my basement? I just can't bring myself to do that.

As far as backups go, I can fit a hell of a lot of FLAC encoded albums on one DVD-R.....

I can understand that some people want the original CD. I'm just not one of them.
