It's not the industry screwing the consumer; it's the consumer making a choice, and for most people convenience outweighs quality. Besides, MP3 is not good for DRM, so it's really the format that the industry would want to eliminate more than any other.

That was part of my point somwhere towards the begining of this thread. Honestly, do you think the consumer makes an informed choice or follows what ever gets the glitzy hard sell?

Isnt the MP3 format nearly 20 years old now?? For a file format like that I think that it holding up very well.

I for one was never into all this fidelity nonsense - As long as you could hear the song, and there wasnt too much hiss and static on it, that was okay.

Then again I am not a Pink Floyd fan.

However, I think that the argument that the industry is pushing MP3 as a perfect fomat holds too much water - It just shows how much the profit margin means to them and not artistic vision

What's the point?!
