Mp3.com puts few tracks from each CD up and lets you download them and
let's you buy the CD.  The artist sets the price for their CD and deciceds
what tracks from their CD get put up.  It sounds like a good idea, but in
my experience the site is run very poorly and poorly designed.

I know some people have the understanding that all mp3's are illegal.
Some people won't touch an mp3.  I think it's safe to use the legal mp3's
though.
