Streaming is, de facto, "too" bad. There iis no way for anyone to skip to a certain point (time) in any given song. I cannot critically analyze something over progarchives.com before I buy it now. Also many people desire to save an mp3 or two onto their computer for whatever reason... can't anymore though. Thanks streamers.

Well if it is between that and closing the site down?   God, I would hate to be without PA.

It's a shame the MP3's have gone I have discovered a few bands via the mp3 download option playing them whilst traveling to work on my mp3 player.

Oh well..

I like streaming. I think it's a fine idea.
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

I knew the whole free mp3 thing was too good to be true.

I remember finding this site one day a year ago (or do I?). Is this legal I thought but then decided to not give a damn about it and proclaim that paradise was found.
