MP3s are terrible quality

Mostly the reason people (including me) buy CDs these days is for the better quality. I can autorip CDs myself to FLAC in 20-30mins with a profile I set up in EAC. There's absolutely no way I'd want their inferior quality MP3s. I like quality and I have nice headphones to make use of it.

I wish iTunes and Amazon etc would offer downloads in HD quality e.g. FLAC 24bit 96kHz made from the studio masters. Then you'd actually have a useful service.

Sure regular Joe Bloggs with their $5 Apple iPod headphones only needs MP3, but where's the service for the rest of us who actually appreciate quality music? Also while you're at it Amazon, why is your service only available in the US and UK? iTunes is the only viable option for other countries.

I never understood this. Everyone outside of the US and UK avoid Amazon. It's almost as if Amazon wants Apple to profit from the other 6-7 billion people on the planet. Even nations like Ireland are excluded from their market (Northern Ireland in the UK but the southerners are screwed).

I agree, and this is why I still buy everything on CD (and a few 24/96 downloads), but this is still pretty cool...I set it up at work and now have access to 750+ CDs I've purchased through Amazon over the years without doing anything. And it works on my Android phone as well! :-)

I hear this crap a lot, bit I've seen no double blind tests done where someone could actually tell the difference between even lame v0 and the source CD.

I encode my rips in flac too, and keep lossless tracks on bluray/hd-dvd - but for completeness. I don't seriously believe I can notice the difference between, say, a 1.5Mbps DTS stream and the same with the lossless extension.
