    It sucks when some of my favorite bands have out of print music and their record labels donΓÇÖt even want to take the time to put a copy up for sale on the download stores so they could make some money. They have so much
    content, they should make it available so people can spend the money instead
    of buying it used or pirating it.

    No kidding, sometimes they just don't give you much alternative. :p I mean, how much work does it take to have something remastered and put online? I mean ya I know they have to clean old tapes and such, but that's very do-able these days, they did amazing things with the original mono Beatles masters, and one of my favorite film scores of all time, Wendy Carlos' TRON, was so bad they had to bake it in an oven, but it worked, and the (very limited edition) cd I've got from a few years ago sound pristine.

    I think it's just lazy.

    ... Do Files get embarassed when they are unzipped?
