Hi Carol,
If you buy from Play, you can't download again if you lose them, so back
them up.
If you buy from iTunes, then you can always re-download, but they are not
MP3 files, but higher quality. They use Flac files which are M4A. These
can be played with Winamp or Windows Media Player, if you download the
right
plugin for Windows Media Player.
There are other companies like 7DigitalMedia http://www.7digitalmedia.com
that sell them in MP3 format, and you can re-download from them too.
Most stores sell in MP3 or protected WMA formats. Apple sell in M4A and
M4V
for video. These can be converted to MP3 if they are not DRM-protected.
Apple is removing DRM from their stuff, so I am beginning to like iTunes.
All the best
Steve

Subject: [access-uk] MP3'S FROM PLAY.COM
I'm thinking of switching to purchasing MP3's instead of CD's and so here
are some questions ...
As always, I apologise that I didn't follow the thread when it was last
discussed. Anyway, here are my questions:
Are MP3's available in various sampling rates etc., and can you buy
individual tracks from CD's, or do you have to buy the whole CD where a CD
is listed rather than a single track? Are they all .WAV format and, if
you
lose them, can you get them again without charge?
