If they want to state the format or sound quality that they think their bootleg-gift-to-the-world should be maintained at, then by all means state it. I will try to respect that. But don't be upset if it doesn't stay that way. Once you have given it up to the world to circulate it will change shape and form-not always for the better. MP3s are amongst the most common, easily accessed and played format of online music. So of course its bound to happen. Purists and elitists in sound quality, I respect you, and I wish I had the kind of time to really learn about all the technicalities of this, but I don't. I don't have the time and I have other interests as well. If I see a song I can easily download and play from David's site, I will. And I am as satisfied with that as I am knowing that some audio/technophile has a better sounding version of the same song that they are appreciating in their universe of better sound quality. And anyways-people get all uptight because their bootleg they put out ends up with slightly changed format or sound-but why are they so uptight? Because they can't control it. Why can't they control it? Because it is not a viable product, and it is not really their product. Technically it is Fleetwood Mac's product. Shame on me for downloading an MP3 that was originally offered as a better sounding lossless torrent. Shame on you for stealing music from Fleetwood Mac in the first place.
