Just happened to be checking out the new Rhapsody mp3 store. They have tracks priced at 99 cents and albums for around $10, all encoded at 256 kbps. Because Lovesexy is a single track download, the entire album is available for download for 99 cents:

You end up with a 45 minute-long mp3, but that's easy to break apart using free software. If you're trying to grow your collection or replace a classic album that might be scratched or whatever, you can't beat $1.

Just a $1?

m buying!!!!!

Not available to those in Canada. Have the Lovesexy CD of course, but sure would have been nice to splice it up.

The software for splitting up the tracks I was referring to isn't tied to rhapsody. If you have the cd (or the mp3) open it in virtually any audio format using Audacity - free for pcs and macs - and it's just a matter of copying and pasting. Google "audacity".

still didnt buy it.
