I agree. I constantly argue with people against mp3. Let's face it. mp3 is the future of music and so are digital music stores. People are so indifferent that they accept 128 kbps audio and pay 99 cents a song for it. Digital music devalues physical music. No more album artwork, no more liner notes, no more case. Just a file on your computer and a low quality one at that. I can see people illegally downloading as a way to stick it to the digital music industry, but just illegally downloading because you can is not right. Everyone should just start buying CDs again.
