- georgieporgie 15y agoUh. Can you give an example of music that you want to download, but can't buy on physical CD?
- danieldk 15y agoThere's plenty of older music that is not available on CD anymore (or has never been), but can be purchased via iTunes. To give an example: most of Sam Rivers' albums. Or Old and New Dreams (ECM).
