ITYF that a CD doesn't compare to a Mobile Fidelity album.

Indeed not - the CD is much better! :-)

Not so collectable, though..............

Indeed, I shelled out for 1 MFSL album many years ago (Earl Klugh,
Fingerpaintings) and thought it was the bee's knees. For a bit. Then I
got CD.


Never mind......

I don't.



That's OK then.... ;-)

The album is also available from allofmp3.com

They have a different approach: you select your preferred encoding system
(including flac) and the server encodes the tracks that way and makes them
available to you for download.

They charge by the megabyte downloaded. (Not all the catalog is available
with user-specified encoding.)

I hate this, out of a minimum sale price of £20 plus £7 postage, the owner
gets £12 at the most. I hope this sort of thing doesn't catch on. I really
wanted this album, but I'm not prepared to line the pockets of these
middlemen too much.


eBay's a free market. No-one's forced to sell, no-one's forced to buy.
I have major doubts about free markets overall, but in the context of
online auctions I'm a great admirer of free markets. I choose to sell
stuff I no longer want, and get the best price available at the time. I
don'tuse intermediaries, but that's my personal choice. Same when I
buy. I read feedback, form an opinion of the seller. If it's an
intermediary I'm likely personally to bid lower because of the
decoupling between the sale and the seller. My choice. It's none of my
business as a potential buyer if a seller chooses to use an intermediary.
