I really love your idea about upping the quality standard. I do think
that would help a bit, maybe not too much, as people don't seem to care
about the lesser quality of mp3s compared to cds, but I'm really aching
for better quality, and that sounds like a great way to help push it
through. Are there any real plans for upping the standard? Anything the
industry will actually promote? I know we kinda have supercds and dvd
audio, but I never see that stuff around, except for maybe one or two at
Tower Records, and I don't see anyone promoting that.
