and I didn't miss your point on local shops either. I definitely don't do that enough. I need to start making a habbit of visiting the local CD shops around here (Schoolkids on Hillsborough St. in Raleigh for me)
I had to select this because for what I do, I know this best describes me based on your intent of "Steal it." A while ago I pledged to myself to stop just downloading all my music from private bit torrent trackers and instead get it from legit sites like amazon.com. Then I realized that I would prefer FLAC because of the higher quality and ability to convert it to any lossy format I prefer, depending on need. However, amazon.com doesn't have FLAC as an option and while I haven't looked, I don't think many sites offer FLAC versions of music in addition to the standard mp3. An *additional* problem I've run into is now I want to start DJing a little bit and the software available (Deckadance for me) doesn't seem to support FLAC.. so the FLAC I download I have to convert to WAV. Ugh. I wish it were easier. maybe I should just give up and use mp3 as my main codec.
