So mp3s is as good as CDs? I have never experienced that. The mp3s (never shared) I make from my CDs (all bought) do not have the same quality as the CD. Maybe it is just my imagination.
What I find funny about the music industry is that it is not learning from its mistakes. Take mp3s as a very good example. Almost everyone use them. Now ponder all the statements in here. "I like 2 songs on a CD, therefore I would never buy it". I agree, what a complete waste of money. But downloading them and sharing them is illegal. Then why can´t the music industry adapt? Make a website that allows you to preview, prelisten
, the songs on a CD. Then you pick what songs you would like to buy and download them. But no, that would probably lead to a decrease in income since people would no longer buy all those crappy songs that fills out the CD.
The point is, the music industry needs to do something before it loses all its customers. And suing people is not going to help I´m afraid. Perhaps it is time for a new generation to take charge of the industry. One that has heard of computers perhaps.
Edit: Yorick, where can I find your CD? Has it been released? The songs I´ve heard on the IW radio are amazing. We´ve got lots of talent on this forum. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
