Anyone have a high Q mp3 I can buy for a resonable price?

I consider myself an avid music-lover. I listen to everything from Trance, Hip-Hop to Classic Rock and Jazz. Through the years I've built and maintained (upgrading from Vynil to Cassette to CD, now to mp3) a rather extensive music collection (30,0000 some-odd songs). I sold off my Giant CD collection after ripping each CD to an mp3.

I really want to be able to buy any song I want, from one simple website (like amazon), in the form of a high-quality mp3, for about $1 per song, $6 if I buy the whole CD. I want to be able to play that song anywhere, anytime, regardless of the device or software I choose.

Why is that so hard? Seriously!

Land of the Free (to panic)

S&P 1 Year.......Yuck.

Time will tell if this was the time to have a backbone or to bail out. seems like the majority opinion (or the majority of the money) is choosing to panic.

How bad is it out there?


A nice example of how bad the stock market has been this year, and how really terrible September was. The big Q I have is, where is all this money going? Probably on the sidelines, which speaks volumes when you consider there will inevitably come a day when the money starts pouring back in. I just hope it comes soon because this butt-kicking the market has put on anyone with a decent sum in it has been nothing short of brutal.
Did I mention that, even though the $700B bailout package passed the second time around, the market went down another 8%+ and counting? insanity!!!!
