    Fairly decent back catalogue

    When an album is available on CD, I prefer to own it on CD so I can rip it to lossless format if I so choose. But some albums get prohibitively expensive to obtain when they go out of print, and I'd rather own MP3s than not have one at all. The back catalogue is pretty good; they have Entheogenic's first album, for instance, but not the soundtrack to Katamari Damacy (only available in Japan) or obscure William Orbit tunes that were never released on CD.
