It absolutely amazes me how many folks have no idea that mp3s
compromise sound quality.

I think the question should also be, is selling a 256 kbps really cost
a company 30% more to produce? What a scam, it was the same with
saying they could charge more for CD's because they cost more than
albums to produce. Of course they couldn't just upgrade their .99
downloads and leave it at that. I couldn't imagine spending .99 on a
128mb downloaded song, but clearly millions of other people can.

Well, wouldn't 256 kpbs MP3 be twice the size of a 128 kbps MP3? So
you have to double your storage costs and have increased bandwidth to
distribute. Admittedly, storeage is cheap and so is bandwidth, but
the "manufacturing" costs have gone up.
