MP3, no matter how high the bitrate (say 320), is poor compared to what you get on a cd. Yet people go on about music encoded at 128-- and at that low level, it's an insult to the ears. :( As for JS, that one should go without saying. I don't understand why people will settle for this kind of crap just because it's MP3 minus DRM. The quality still sucks! And you tech writers should know better anyway. Smarten up. Two problems:

1) Jessica Simpson
2) MP3
