Nope. Not even Pink Martini can make Little Drummer Boy tolerable.
Ok, that's not completely honest. I enjoy the instrumentation. They lyrics should just never have been written.

I buy some CDs still, but I wanted instant gratification.

They never were.

So did I. That's why I didn't purchase the cd on amazon.com
It's funny that people always want a way to "protect" and archive their digital music. Buy the cd. Rip it however YOU want, and the cd IS your backup. Duh.
Does anyone sell uncompressed digital downloads? Prince offered them on his god awful website. He at least got that right. I'd pay a premium (not more than the cd, but more than the standard download). I don't think I'm alone.

No kidding, Craig. Best Buy's selection has dropped off the face of the earth. I stick to Amazon now.

It is looking like you have to buy CD's online now, everywhere I go I see less and less shelf space for CD's. I am ordering a bunch of cd's this Christmas, none of which I was able to find in a store. At least they are still producing them........for now.  It wouldn't be so bad if they at least offered full cd quality(or better) downloads.

Does anyone sell uncompressed digital downloads? hdtracks.com They have a lot of stuff, but very little of what I want, unfortunately.

sad...am I the last person on earth that purchases actual cds? I buy CDs whenever possible. The only ones I don't buy as CDs are the ones that are unavailable in the format or are insanely expensive. More bands are offering FLAC downloads, but of course most of the time they're offering the CD at the same time, so I go with that and make my own FLACs.
