I understand that the RIAA has done some good in protecting artist's and recording company's rights to profit from their creations, but I really have gotten tired of hearing them complain about how much money they're losing. Did they ever stop to compute how much the music consumer has lost?

MD shares many of the characteristics of a computer file system. It has a freelist. It has a directory. One could even consider the track titles to be sort of a "file name" although it doesn't mind duplicate titles, since access is by track number. Data chunks can be stored out-of-order. MD
