Isn’t it the inherent compression in the mp3 format that makes the quality
below .wav not the bitrate as such.
part of the reason behind setting up our own digital download service for
the label is to have control over our choice of formats - the ability to
experiment. Mp3s are very handy but i do notice the differance, maybe not
in clubs but on headphones definetly.
It does seem that the majority of people here do pretty much what i do which
is buy CDs, rip them, download mp3s, and buy vinyl. Pick and chose, mix and
match depending on availability and a variey of criteria. Personally i like
the idea of mp3s as a label owner as it saves less time at the post office
sending of parcels, but i do like receiving parcels especially with music in
them.
So will the big labels give up the fight, if not how will they change? I
cant see them forcing their wil power on the public like the did with CDs,
its already way too late. It way easier for small labels to survice as a
bad chosie in format isnt going to waste us millions. Maybe large labels
will evolve into search engines and performance/gig managers. People want
to make music and people want to listen, everything else inbetween is in
very big flux.
Our 2015 release will be available in the pen injectable format, please
consult your doctor, also available as a cheese spread, taste that music.
