But I don't want to distribute the CD. I just want to listen to it.

And, if they wanted to avoid server meltage, why not just use bittorrent? It works great.

Yeah, at a bare minimum, they could offer FLAC. I don't need or want full WAV files when I can get lossless FLAC. I mean. it's nice that this was all made using FLOSS, but I download several gig per month of completely free (as in beer), legal AND lossless audio files from people who actually earn a living performing with actual physical instruments and such. If a bunch of stoned-out DeadHeads and the like can figure out free lossless audio compression and bittorrent, how come these guys, with (apparently) much greater technical skills, can't?
