i've used napster myslef in the past, and i've been able to get good bit rate mp3's. just as good as the ones i make myself. i 'don't know that you've ever used it, but from what it sounds like i'd have to say no. ther are filers built into the program, that let you separate anthing under a certain bitrate, connection speed, and other things. seems fair enough to me that if someone has it you can find it. the only problem i see is taht you may have to try a few times til someone aith hta you are looking for at the desired bitrate is also online.
people here seem to be skirting around the fact that dubbing on to a tape is not necessarily the most popular form or copying now. with the amount of prefab systems available with cd-rw it's becoming just as easy to copy cd to cd with NO quality loss. with cdr media sold in large quantity (eg. spindle) it's just as afforable as analog tape and takes less time to copy due to the fact that you are not forced to play the music to tape. it's also easy enough to borrow the cd from a friend and rip it yourself with no way to trace it.
