Review

General comment.

There is little motivation to buy these compilations. As at the time of writing, the cost of A$42.25 for each 25 track set is expensive. Not only that, but for your money, you get a lossy (less than CD quality) recording that you can only use in limited ways due to digital rights management (DRM). You are far better off picking up the CD’s.
