In fact people keep trying to get higher and higher quality albums ever since Bittorrent released. With Napster most mp3's were 128kps and now they on Bittorrent it averages 320kps. As the average storage on a mp3 pla<x>yers increase in conjunction in the increase speeds of bandwidth music stores will start to offer higher and higher quality material till it eventually offers lossless formats.
