Yeah I agree. although mp3s can have nearly cd quality, it loses most of it when it's burned as a wav file on the cd. I have a nice sound system connected to my computer and when I play mp3s directly from the computer on it and compare with the burned cd track the difference is great. I really don't see any problem on buying cds and I think it's much more covenient than wasting the time downloading mp3s that are often bad ripped (I always have to listen to every mp3 I download to see if there's no glitch. It amazes me that almost 50% of the mp3s I download have glitches and I have to discard them and look for a more perfect quality of rip) but since you need cash to buy cds and I don't have enough, then i have to go with mp3s. Plus I can't tolerate the music from my country. And they only sell either national or international (USA or rarely, UK releases only) and i'm more inclined to japanese songs, and there's nothing japanese on sell here. I would have to import them and it would have to be in dollars and the currency from my country has a low value compared to dollar, meaning I would have to spend 3 or more times more than a regular cd.
