Exactly. The MP3s fall under the same idea as a standard cd/vinyl
release, so if you play it out you fall under the dj licenses that
normally apply.

Agreed. Although, the MP3 files are at a high enough bitrate that it
doesn't really bother me. I have hope that they'll explore other options,
since it doesn't affect bandwidth, only server storage, and that's
generally cheap nowadays.

I like OGG, out of general sound principle, and I don't have any real
problem with the prices that seem to be abound -- between .99 and 1.50 a
track, $10 or so for a full album. I just finished encoding every CD I
own to OGG so I have access to it at my fingertips, so it's not entirely
different to me at this point. In fact, I wouldn't be worried about
running out of space for storage anymore :D
