I love the "noble casket" translation of jewellery box.
A quick scroll through the MP3 download pricing suggests that it would cost you close to (or perhaps exactly the same as) the USB stick to download the lot as lossy files. Huh.

Yeah, the prices for the USB and the invidual files are the same (1 euro per file for 303 tracks), but the files I guess are meant for people like me who already own a lot of this stuff and don't want to pay the ridiculous price for the whole package. If only they had them as FLACs I might actually buy a few of those.

Also, the files on the USB are AIFFs, do they even work outside Apple machines? I'm pretty sure my Sony player attached to the stereo wouldn't recognise them.

Most everything can play AIFF, I think. If I stuck that USB stick in my Marantz, it would play fine. What's your Sony player?

Sonos likes AIFFs, but there is no way i am paying that much for this stuff.
Sony was always awkward as they refused to accept the MP3 format for a long time, you had to convert the files into their own propiety format before their digital music players would play anything.
