So they're asking (nay, forcing) Windows users to accept the reduced
audio quality of approx 128kBPS MP3 compression, instead of the full
CD quality they expect. This is definitely one for trading standards.

I'm not looking forward to the day when I have to explain to one of
my daughters why the CD she just bought has to go back to the shop.
Fortunately (for the moment at least) neither of them seem to be
particularly interested in pop music and (also at the moment) the
kind of music they do buy isn't being adulterated.
