Hey seen the best of zepplin remastered for 5.00 on cd but the MP3 is 3.00, would I expect the same quality?

Sorry never downloaded this stuff before, and been a long time since I bought a CD

Thanks

Looks like they encode at 256

Personally, I'd never pay Amazon for downloading MP3s when flac files are nearly always available elsewhere, usually for free (cough cough).

Easily solved :)

I'd normally buy the CD unless the download is higher quality. I like to use some of my music at work, so prefer to own the original disc.

maybe download one track - if you can as you can't always - and see what you think. Technically it will not be the same quality of course, but maybe you'd be happy with teh MP3. I can foresee a day when i get pretty much all my music that way.

It's all a rip off - but you'd be happy with 256k ? The moral of your story is get the CD.

Some (320k) MP3s I've bought sound absolutely superb - Interpol's latest, the Rocket single from Goldfrapp. But I downloaded the 320k remastered David Bowie Station To Station and it sounded flat to me. So I've ordered the previous remaster of the album on CD dammit.
