I have recently been seeking out higher-quality Ogg Vorbis versions of many of the tracks in my Winamp playlist, to replace various MP3 tracks, some of which sounded pretty poor (likely due to poor source material – eg, the radio – you can’t always tell where tracks from P2P software have come from). This was made somewhat easier by allofmp3.com, a Russian site where you pay $10/GB to download music in whatever quality you want, whatever format you want, and so on. You can pay by PayPal (well, most of the time… from time-to-time, PayPal decides to close their account due to that annoying thing called the RIAA), so you don’t have to give your credit card details away, and it really is quite good.

Right, advertising over then. Now, I’ve had word back from the company representing Atari with all those Locomotion goodies, and I should be getting them this weekend! I’ll keep you posted. 🙂

Woof!

1. Rudge, do you realise that at $1 a megabyte you are paying more than it is to use the itunes music store? Are you loosing yourself money just to spite the sensible ones? (being us Maccies). I think your PC brain is not working to well, a bit like most of your software/hardware. GGS?

2. Bleh, not $1/MB… brain not functioning tonight. It’s $10/GB. That equals about a cent per megabyte. 😉
