I see your points and agree. I was wondering about a compromise, say having a portion of a song, or portion of songs on an entire CD, that people could listen too? That way, in order to hear the whole song, or CD, one would have to purchase it.

The reason I mention this is that I have wanted to purchase CDs, but since I couldn't sample them, I didn't know how well I would like the songs. The quality of the sonics, the actual recording process, I probably couldn't realize, though, until I actually purchased the CD.

Think this might work?

Take care.
