You seem to agree with me on most points but you have to understand how the majors work, because they influence most things, they've lost control of "their" product and profit. I've read the reports, they are very scary and do confirm what I'm saying - Some kids will always be like us but the market at the moment is 9-12yr girls who buy from Woolworth's - now you know why the charts are so sh*te. Thing is, most aren't paying for it - now that it's software, its wide open and no amount of encryption or copyright protection will save them - people aren't paying, fact... But I do feel this is to the advantage of the smaller player like Warp, but look who they have to deal with as well, US - 192K bitrate!!! Up yours :) There's just no pleasing us I reckon. I wish it wasn't true, but sadly it is... Martin
