i dunno what the answer is here, much like everyone else. i'm just glad they're still making decent music...delivery methods be damned.

Awesome.

(Granted, they were kind enough to send me a non-protected copy of the CD after I sent the first one back to them. I know that made me kind of a jerk, but props to them for manning up and doing something about it.)

(And, granted, that fiasco was more Sony BMG's fault than ATO's, but still...)
