I haven't been that lucky

Almost all the Top-40 tracks these days are 'spoofed' in one way or the other.

Recently, I wanted to 'sample'

'A Thousand Miles' by Vanessa Carlton and downloaded a 320kbps track. Guess what? It was mono and so were the rest in other bitrates too. The files by themselves are stereo but the channels have been downmixed and hence no stereo seperation giving them that AM radio feel.

Imagine the plight of dial-up users..
