i think the idea of this technology is fantastic. however, what i am wondering is what this is going to do to the independent record label industry. use of mp3s right now doesn't currently affect them as much as it does the major record labels. but what this is going to do is discourage buying vinyl. (at least that is how i see it.) all you have to do is basically find a track online or find a friend with that record and rip an mp3. it's going to cause a lot of producers to not make any money. i wonder how much people are going to start fighting within the dance music community after this becomes readily available. i personally think that final scratch is going to be pretty popular and that after it gets some more attention, it's going to be utilized by more and more people, especially after they see that it works so well. it's just also a question of people supporting their artists and buying the vinyl still. (which is something that i would still be doing if i really really wanted a certain track...it would cause a lot less of that "ooooh why did i buy THAT?" syndrome that i occasionally get here and there if i used final scratch and just had an mp3 of the track.)
i dunno...i'm just going to sit back and watch and see how people start changing their minds on the mp3 argument when it starts affecting THEM. -l --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
