[access-uk] Re: 7Digital.com

Hi James -

Well, 128 bit is really disappointing to me, is this the bit rate most legal 
sites use I wonder - when you think that you don't get the disc and the 
packaging, then for an album, it isn't good value as it's possible to get 
digitally remastered albums for similar prices, and even cheaper for a lot of 
back-catalogue stuff. It's probably quite reasonable for individual album 
tracks, but again, if they're in secure Windows Media format, then I take it 
that when burned to CD, they wouldn't play in my DVD player or my PTR1, or on 
my Ipod shuffle? If I'm right about this, then that sounds rather restrictive 
to me!

  HI andy

  As far as I'm aware their files are 128kbps, and there is no option for 
getting them in better quality.  once you have downloaded a track, you have the 
track itself in secure Windows Media format, and the license that will allow 
you to transfer the track to any player which supports that secure format.  If 
you want to convert to mp3 you will have to burn the track to CD and then 
convert it using Media Player, CDex or whatever you use normally, or analogue 
rip it using Total Recorder or similar (yes I know you don't like that 
particular solution Steve :)).

    Hi all -

    I know one or two on here are signed up with digital.com, and I'm just 
looking at the site to make my first purchases, and I'm wondering about a 
couple of points: I prefer to listen to my music at 192 bit rate and above, so 
is there a choice of file size from this website? and do we actually own the 
track when we have downloaded it, and therefore is it playable on all MP3 
players?

    Thanks -

    Andy
