Who knows in the "big picture" but I for one would like to be able to purchase select songs from an artist's catalog without having to buy an entire CD... or a number of CDs. If the time comes when artists have most/all of their music available online, one cut at a time, they might see more exposure as a result of people trying their stuff and in the end, sell more music... maybe. I'm sure the record company execs are crunching these numbers. Now a question for you techies: Am I correct in assuming that the audio quality of downloaded music is lower than that found on a commercial CD? Thanks, Don "Trevor J.
