To be honest guys......listening to MP3's isnt that great. The sound quality is poor (128-192kbps) and if I like the song enough I will buy the album....so that i can obtain the best sound quality possible on a hi-end hifi. Ive discovered so much variety of music in the last month......im now looking to buy albums by:

Lichtenfels, Nature One Inc, The Love Committie, Lasgo, John Foxx, POD, Crystal Method, Infected Mushroom, The Cure, Placebo.

Now that ive discovered these bands......I want to buy their albums. Without Kazaa.....Im not sure if I would have ever discovered these.

I personally limit the amount of downloading I do.......and I have to stress.....a 192Kbps song doesnt exactly replace a proper CD/Record version.
