I don't have an issue with whether WMAs are better than Mp3s or vice
versa.. (of course, folks here who have bought Mp3 file format dependent
hardware might very well be troubled by this..), but that many
BigBusiness'es are afraid of an "unprotected" music file format dominating
the scene. Especially now, I trust Big Music Industry's intentions as
much as I trust Weiland to give up smack once and for all...
Which is all really silly, as net connections will probably improve within
the next decade to allow folks to send uncompressed CD quality data over
net lines anyway.... that is unless "they" have a problem with allowing
that.
This is all making me dizzy. Stop the ride... please.
