 |

OKay,
Thinking of buying albums off iTunes and converting the AAC format to MP3 by burning music to CD using iTunes.
I assume the sound quality will be decreased in the conversion but have no idea how much.....anybody know ???
Many thanks |

main reason....quality....although iTunes isn't the best either.
second....enjoy my music and don't mind dishing out a little cash.
third....don't have much of a computer brain....don't trust downloading....spyware, viruses whatever.
if i wasn't stuck in korea i'd be buying cd's....but.... |

If quality is the key factor, don't use iTunes. Eeven their "premium" sales are below CD quality. |

Planned on using amazon but can't buy outside usa.
Need a site with a relatively large catalogue.
Any suggestions? |

| I've used Amazon (US, UK and France) from Korea for 10 years, including DVD's - but not CD's. |

Can't download their MP3's outside USA....same for Napster....
It's a mess. Starting to think my options are to ship cd's to korea (highly unlikely) or use piratebay / mininova. What's the difference between the 2 sites?....relatively safe?.... |

It may be technically lower quality, but the odds are that you would be unable to distinguish that loss in quality. |
