(Hey Quest!) This last point I can't quite see. - A major point about p2p etc is that on the whole, whilst they may have a wide range of tracks for download - in the areas in which we on this list are interested - the quality of such rips is generally not high, therefore whilst those '2000' djs (nominal number I know mate) might now have that rare track which you had to become a private detective to track down and a mortgage to buy, until 'legitimate' downloading services (like iTunes for instance) catch-up with the really specialist end, I can't see that FS, Traktor, Ableton etc folks have got the edge in our little area - unless they actually own the original vinyl ... I feel the real competition will start from people like iTunes when they ratchet up the sampling rate to 32 and even beyond. It will simply not be feasible I feel, for your soulseeks and limewires and kazaas to match that - at least for a while ... k
