Apple Corp. and EMI announced the pre-order availability of 30,000 16-GB Apple-shaped USB drives containing 14 albums in lossless 24-bit FLAC (better than CD quality) and 320 Kbps MP3 formats, 13 short documentary films about the albums, album art, “rare photos” and expanded liner notes, all accessible directly or through a Flash player that automatically loads on Macs and PCs. It’s quite a statement — especially the 24-bit depth of the lossless files, which allows more gradations between volume levels than standard 16-bit (CD-quality) audio files. The only catch — they cost $280. EMI and Apple Corp. plan to release the drives on Dec. 8." what did the five fingers say to the face?

This site will be gone shortly and don't give it your credit card info in the meantime. @Patrick:

I just can't figure out why they would give the option to download the mp3 files via Base Beat for a fraction of the cost that they are also offering it to you from iTunes. Has anyone tried this?
