In Soviet Russia, record labels sue YOU!

Wait...

and still no-one wants to provide a legit centralised source for 320kbps or higher quality tagged digital audio covering mainstream past and present at reasonable prices.

Why does anyone pay to download mp3s illegally anyway?

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Thursday, 30 November 2006 15:01 (seventeen years ago) link

they want the mp3s in decent quality and conveniently
they don't care about the 'leaglity' aspect

I care more about the 'pay' aspect.

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Thursday, 30 November 2006 15:03 (seventeen years ago) link

they don't mind paying peanuts for the convenience of getting higher quality, often hard to find elsewhere mp3s

You can't get anything off it at the moment.

IT'S BEGUNNNNN!!!

Yeah I guess, I don't really understand why legal mp3s are at 128, makes no sense. Do the record companies think people will buy the mp3 at 128 and then get fed up with the bad sound quality and buy the CD as well?

most sites sell mp3s at 192kbps standard now. some sources claim 128 AAC m4a is equivalent to 192kbps MP3 while others say it's more 160. either way i'd rather just have MP3 higher than that which is why Bleep rock so hard.

gomusic.ru is still safe, right?
