> ...is literally the only option I've found that let's you buy normal MP3s

I just went to Amazon and found what's advertised as "mp3" for a recent Taylor Swift album.

That's not an option here in Canada, alas!

IIRC those are only 256 kbps. I get that MP3 is a lossy format, but still, they could at the very least offer 320 kbps. I was under the impression Amazon wasn't short on server space.

Can you hear the difference? Even with mp3, it gets hard at high bitrates.
