By other digital formats that compress less, like FLAC (which my system doesn't recognize).<br /><br />Sadly, for a multitude of reasons (including ecology concerns), hard copy is all but dead and Dr. Johnny Fever will be pulling the plug for good any day now. Oh, sure, they'll make a few collector's discs (vinyl, CD, whatever) to momentarily placate the older collector like myself. They'll make fewer and fewer and charge more and more. We've now gotten over the ridge and the future looks pretty clear from here.<br /><br />It's a terrible sucky thing, but nothing's going to change it at this point.<br /><br />I'll give you one big reason it sucks. My computer died a few weeks ago. All that download music I paid for or downloaded free...hundreds of hours of it...it's gone, most likely never to be replaced. <br /><br />Back up? Psssh. Like anybody really does that. I've worked for businesses that employ thousands of people and they don't back up their stuff. What makes you think the average guy downloading a few free Christmas tunes is going to back stuff up? <br /><br />Sure, you'd have a CD player eat the occasional disc or you'd accidentally break a vinyl record now and then, but (short of a fire or other disaster) you aren't likely to lose your entire hard copy collection in one seemingly random moment of fate.<br /><br />Like anything else, they've traded quality for other concerns (price, portability, etc). And very few people will ever notice or care.stubbysfearsnoreply@blogger.com
