Ah, I shouldn't have written that I picked up "the rest" from HMV Japan. I only bought all of their albums through "In The Pocket", the last one that Lionel Richie was on. Then I have a 2-cd compilation [["Gold") that has, I think, 8 songs from after Richie left. That was enough for me at the time.

Yes, agreed, I buy mostly cds, usually at a better price than the downloads. Used cds can be a great deal too. Downloading is usually the last resort. But I don't mind if it's lossless, my cds just end up in boxes anyway and I rarely take them out.
