my fav (in no order of preference):

1. Oasis

2. Linkin Park

3. Beyond

I fell in love with her voice. Her songs are addictive - the more I listened, the more I wanna listen.

So far I have Fall In Love With Olivia (Yes I DO!) and A Girl Meets Bossa Nova 2. Both are fantastic 10/10 albums.

all of them use lossy compression to compress their music, which is really not good.

iTunes' music are DRMed, thus I don't really recommend. Do check out Amazon.com

can just go to http://www.itunesgiftcard.biz/ to purchase the giftcard, create a phoney US account, redeem the stored value and start downloading them

 

The US Apple iTunes offer both standard 128kbps and 256kbps AAC format, though nowadays 256kbps is more widely available. Dun think they provide lossless format as the download times can be much longer than AAC.

 

anyway, i feel that the SQ of AAC anytime beats MP3 anytime, given the same bitrate.

I feel the problem with those download stores is less about quality, but more about DRM. Personally I use Linux as my main OS, thus there's no way I can get iTunes to work, and secondly I just don't like DRMed music.

her first album is really really very nice.
