One of the big problems with compressed digital audio is that all of the
new consumer toys coming out are mp3-oriented. It's nice to burn a cd with
6-7 hours of audio and plop it into your car -- a hell of a lot nicer than
popping the trunk every few miles to swap out your 10 cds :)
It wouldn't surprise me if they start producing portable audio units with
multiple codecs rather soon, though -- I think there's the possibility for
a market there, especially when you get those cd-player marketting weirdos
on the job, touting the different codes and the amount you can squeeze onto
different cd's.
We'll see, I guess. For now, I'm keeping my stuff in mp3 though.
