| Qobuz Coming to America Soon! Just went to qobuz.com and -- yay! -- the pound sign has changed to a dollar sign. But when I try to log in it says that they are in a closed "invite only" beta. Now my feelings are hurt that I didn't get an invite. | |
| Spotify for classical music lovers I thought spotify maxed out at 320 kbps. | |
