O-Zone Update

Well, Amazon had the album as an import for $35 plus shipping ... but a little searching on eBay found it for about half that price. It's on its way to my greedy little paws even as we speak!

I love the internet. ^.^

$10 on iTunes Music Store as a download. Got it already.

True, but iTunes's music stores don't have the CDs, cover art, or any types of inserts, which can often contain lyrics or signatures or other fancy stuff. ^^;;
But yeah, 10 bucks is a better deal. >.>; Except the quality is a bit lower than on CDs, isn't it? MP3s and CD audio are really very different.

Well...

AAC (iTunes) and MP3 format files have the capacity to carry a cover image. iTMS files come with cover images. They don't come with notes or lyrics, but these days it's easy to find lyrics on the internet.

There is a quality difference between MP3, AAC and CD audio. However...

128kb/sec AAC audio files (standard iTMS quality) lose very little quality in compression. It's a very smart compression algorithm. 192kb/sec MP3 is of similar quality.

Frankly, my ear isn't what it used to be, but it's still very good. 92kb/sec MP3 is obviously degraded, but it would be to anybody. 128kb/sec MP3 is pretty damned clean. I run shows ripping CDs to 192kb/sec MP3 (and the occasional iTMS track) and I've never had complaints about the quality of the audio.

Wow, fun stuff!
After seeing the video you linked to yesterday, I loved it so much I wanted to see a higher quality version. I found one, and in case you haven't seen it, I put it up for download here (97MB).

Ees vuri good. Thanks for pointing them out!
