What the RIAA should do is have the music houses set up servers and put their entire music collections on them available for download. You could buy single songs or entire CDs. Make the CD case artwork available as well.
Just think, being able to go to just a few sites and download any song you've ever heard.
One can embrace technology or let it run over them.
My thoughts exactly. Pay per tune, price by quality.
I seem to recall hearing some years back about stores where you could give 'em your playlist and they'd custom burn a CD for you. Maybe that was in California and it never made it to the east coast, but I thought it was a great idea.
