    I'm rather happy that I paid nothing for the Radiohead album for the following two reasons:

    1. It only comes in a 160 bitrate format, which is not up to snuff.

    2. The actual album will include a lot more songs.

    I've read in several places that this "revolutionary new approach to music vending" is actually more of a marketing technique, since the online product is crippled and incomplete.

    That said, my free download is rocking my socks off, yet I feel no guilt. Perhaps it's the $30 I paid for my Radiohead t-shirt on the OK Computer tour.

    320 or 160: i cannot tell the difference. my dumb ears are fine with whatever compression is available north of 128.

    i paid $4. money well spent.
