May we see a CD release, in better than AAC quality. CDrs of 1400 kbps

How is it a rip-off if it is common knowledge that the Itunes downloads
are
AAC quality??????? Richard

Words like 'ripoff' are frequently extended to cover 'samefully
overpriced' -- as he explicitly indicated.

Would it have been clearer if he had said '...bound to be highway
robbery...'?

I don't know - would it be better if it cost 4.99 for almost 100 minutes of
music - or 2.99 --rather than 9.99 ????? Richard
