[BC] Re: Downloading wav files

[Bernie Courtney]

Isn't that pretty much what iTunes is doing now (although not lossless)?

Probably not your genre of music, but Beatport 
(https://www.beatport.com/) is a site that some club DJ's use to get 
their music and does just what you speak of (download a 44.1k .wav of 
each track you want).

I would rather avoid ripping CDs. The last time I did that, it was rather
time consuming. My preference is to drag my desired wave files to a folder and
burn them to a CD (properly formatted) without ripping first.

I must admit that I am confused. Why would an automation company do what you
suggest? How do I prove that I have the rights? What proof do I need?

Seems like the record companies would jump at the chance to serve customers
like me; charge a small fee per song, let me pick the songs, then they no
longer have to stamp CDs for distribution. Actual "albums" would be prepackaged
  and
the consumer could burn to CD, load to iPOD, ect.

I am NOT looking for a shady, questionable way to do this. I'm simply looking
for a solution that won't take all bloody day long to do a burn project.

I have "automation" software that I actually own at home. I don't even use it
because of the PITA it is to rip from CDs and of which, I have many. Maybe
the ripping has changed since I last did it.
