I wanna: download high quality mp3's

Being a music lover, techie and gadget junkie, I feel almost ashamed about not jumping on the whole buying mp3's online bandwagon yet.
However, being a music lover, my gripe has always been that the quality of these downloads has always been questionable.
Does anyone know of a reputable website selling consistently high quality mp3 tracks? I'm looking for at least 192kbps, preferably 256 or 320.

Many thanks,
Tom

    same here, but I suspect actually buying CDs is cheaper, though of course you can't cherry-pick tracks

    Exactly - if all I want is one track off an album then I'd much rather pay £1 to download a decent quality mp3 of it (provided e7even don't mess me about anymore, but that's a whole different story...) than pay £8-£12 for the whole album.

    There are very few download sites I've seen that actually state what bitrate the mp3's actually are. :mad:
