Ave Maria!

It has happened! Amazon is offering its digital downloads of MP3 to the international market! I can finally get some esoteric music by individual tracks! It's a chance to replace tracks that I lost due to the CD rot too, such as the 2nd to 4th movement of Schubert's glorious G major quartet by Quartetto Italiano.

Encoded at 256kbps, the quality should be real close to CD quality. It makes me wonder if I should go back to my CDs and see how much I am missing out when I listen only to my ripped music encoded at 128-160kbps these days.
