But as someone pointed out on the list recently, what the music companies are really worried about is a future of high-bandwidth in which the actual CD-quality .wav files can be traded easily. And then what will they do? Block .wav files? Remove the computer's capability to work with sound altogether? We mostly use .wavs (ripped from CDs) now for our live gigs because of the sound issue...I've got a 20GB hard drive in my ThinkPad and that can hold plenty of .wavs. John -- John von Seggern DJ/producer Digital Cutup Lounge Hong Kong http://www.digitalcutuplounge.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
