  • 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.

    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.
