Andy, You have hit the nail on the head so hard here, that I'm falling off my chair. Over the decades that I've bought LPs and CDs, about half of them I've ever purchased have turned out to be disappointing, usually because they only had a couple of songs I really liked. I no longer purchase any CD unless I can hear a sample of every song in advance and like nearly all of them. What the record companies don't get is that the ability to buy individual songs will actually result in me purchasing MORE music, not less, because I would not be buying many of the whole albums anyway.
Long gone are the days when I or many other music lovers run out to the store and buy an album because we heard one good song on the radio. -- TiredLegs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TiredLegs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25835 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
