But, what about downloading from that Rusky site (allofmp3.com), which 
says that they pay some Russian music federation which claims that 
they, in turn, pay the copyright holder.  They also claim that they 
offer some music in CDAudio format (that, I guess, would show up as 
AIFF or WAV).  Can anyone verify this, or whether it's safe to give 
them a credit card #?     --  Woody
