Neat little hack! I wouldn’t feel bad about it because they don’t offer a way to purchase the music! And that’s ridiculous, because people have come to expect that choice. Currently, I switched over to Amazon HD, which offers you 3 months free! 3 months! It has high resolution playback and you can buy the digital or physical media. Not sure if you can buy digital hi-res files, though.
It’s time to get rid of MP3 compression because it’s just not necessary anymore. Just offer the files in the highest possible resolution, but with individual songs like MP3s. The bandwidth is no longer the problem it once was. This would help the music industry and add an incentive to make better music as well.
