Just thought I would pass on the discovery of free quality tunes from Amazon.  After reading so many great things about Jazz and Classical on these forums, I decided to expand my horizons beyond my usual rock/metal confines.  I snagged a few Miles Davis tracks to test the waters and then I found the Allegro Samplers.  I just got these last night and an working my way through the Jazz samplers at the moment, but so far I am impressed.  Being samplers, it is expected that there will be hits and misses in the included tracks, but overall there are far more hits.  From the Jazz disks I was not impressed with the electronic pop/contemporary tracks (three so far) and I have removed one awkward male vocalist track from my computer completely. 

 

So for the cost, FREE, being impressed with >70% of the tunes so far is high praise in my book.  The tracks are encoded in 256 kbit VBR bitrates, so no these are not uber high quality tracks, but to my ears they seem adequate.

 

Enjoy.
