i was just mentioning it in passing; the issues are linked, and mp3
is the most popular format in digital ditribution right now unless i'm
missing something.

um...then where else? do you mean, burn your own CD and take it
elsewhere?

yeah...interesting (and not too far away from what i said), but i
guess i like the artist being in control of those decisions. from
both sides of the fence. i want to make those choices myself
when putting out music, and i also want to know the visions of
other artists. hit me with the complete package! even if the
package is ultra-minimalist or "anti-packaging"; that says
something too.
