These kind of arguments a rather pointless although they may be true, because they only reflect the current situations. I can remember when only few companies globally manufactured CD's. The yield rate was low; prices high. The experts claimed that in the future only major artist (like Michael Jackson) would ever be released on the CD medium. Nowadays the least sold records of all time are avaiable comercially on CD and you can even burn them at home. Pål
