Re: Underworldlive version 3.0 thread
Nice. I like this forward progress. Here are my constructive criticisms:

1. As others have said, would be nice to be able to buy individual tracks. I also have the promo CD's, but I'd like digital copies of the unmixed originals.
2. The MP3 pricing is not bad. A smidge high in comparison to, say, Amazon MP3 or iTunes, but not bad.
3. The lossless premium seems maybe 50-75p too high.
4. Would prefer the lossless to be FLAC, or zipped at the very least, to conserve bandwidth and disk space. (The download may already be zipped, I don't know. I'm just going by the posted file size which appears to be uncompressed in any way.) Or like NIN did, offer ALAC in addition to FLAC (for easy iTunes/iPod compatibility). I see no reason to offer uncompressed lossless.
5. For Lenny Penne, since you're requiring that customers purchase all 5 in either MP3 or FLAC (no mix-and-match), I think it should be easy (and only fair) that Lenny Penne be given in matching format (MP3 or FLAC).
