    Can anyone suggest some good trance, or techno, or house or whatever the fuck it's called? I'm kinda starting to get into techno as a genre.

    edit: Keep in mind that I like stuff with really high energy and pulse.
    I picked up a Digitalism album a few months back, and I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

    that's not really high energy though

    yeah, any Tiesto compilation. They all start to sound the same after a while though.

    The Godskitchen Classics compilation was good. First disc had some classic trance anthems, second disc was hardcore (not really my style), and the third disc had some nice house on it.

    Carte Blanche, Silence, As The Rush Comes and Blue Fear are some songs that might be up your alley.

    I can't believe nobody has leaked a 320kbps In Rainbows. I paid for it, and I expect some decent quality fucking files.

    edit - oh shit it's out in FLAC

    I paid for the shitty 160kbps files, so for now, I want some quality files.

    I will be buying the CD when it comes out though.

    I disagree. Buying music on iTunes is not a good investment, seeing as the files are such terrible quality.
    I'd rather go out, buy the CD, and then rip it FLAC.

    FLAC sounds amazing on my COWON D2. I've never listened to lossless on a PMP until now.
    If you try listening to Lossless files on an iPod, you're sort of wasting your time.

    I'll give you classical, but on most rock and rap, over 320 is a waste.

    Yeah, I don't really understand how he can call it pointless. If you can hear the difference, then there's your reason to rip it to FLAC.
    I can hear the differences, so I rip to FLAC.
