A large portion of shared music is HORRIBLE quality, vocals sound like the singer is in the bottom of a Well usually...BUT if it sparks my interest I will be open to purchasing the entire CD just to have a quality recording...as long as some company like Sony doesn't install a Rootkit on my 'puter....BAD Sony!! |
