Live performance vs studio issues aside, I fear your suggested avenue would cripple the music industry of new talent who cannot afford to spend the minimum $75k required to record a new album worth of music. Sure, they could pro tools it in the rec room or garage or home studio but the sound results would be so horrid that the material wouldn't be worth downloading in the first place. -- Pneumonic Main: Squeezebox 3 > Roksan DAC/PS > Bedini BC800 Pre > Sonic Frontiers SFS80 Power > Martin Logan CLS II Speakers Office: Squeezebox 3 > REDGUM RGi120 Int Amp > Elipson Circee Speakers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pneumonic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10091 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45519 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
