More info on allofmp3.com from wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allofmp3

Read before you use this site. If you're not comfortable with the legality
of it then don't use it.

The other point which I wasn't aware of is that all music (unless otherwise
noted) is reenencoded from 384kbs MP3s. I've been downloading at 320 kbs
MP3 then reencoding to 192kbs VBR for my iPod. I also keep the 320 version
backed up on DVD. Now I'm wondering if I should start downloading at 384 (a
non standard MP3 bit rate), then reencode from there.
