I don't notice THAT much of a difference in the sound quality from the iTunes store and thehip.com. They quality sounds pretty much the same as today's Ahead By A Century if you ask me. Maybe I'm crazy though, who knows. All I can say is its that the ten songs picked for Volume 1 are a great mix. Definetly appealing to your more than average fan. A great balance between hits and rarities.

What a great version of Inevitability Of Death.

The SOTD is at 128k, too. It's just that a few of us are audio nerds who want our FLACs, damnit,

SOTD is in the low 90's, actually.

Really? That's a good encoding job you've done, then.
