Furthermore, in a few more years our music will be re-encoded with much better schemes. It's still worthwhile to do things at the highest level and the cosumers will eventually catch up.

Zep, I must say that after going to the Motu-Lucid test in that forum, wich consist in an mp3 compression of two converters, then encode in mp3, I was rather impress to hear big differences in textures.
SO may be I exagerated yesterday, maybe it was the Bordeaux ...

Just a little reality check. There's one heckofa difference between selling singles from well established artists' back catalogs and selling brand new titles.

I do agree Bob, I would love you to extend on that ...
What I meant in a previous post is that record companies are so trying not to take any risks, that they tend to work on well established artists and their back catalogues, while making little try out of new artists without realy giving them times and help to work on their careers. You more than anyone in this board bob know that there where times when a record company was way more implicated in their artists carreer. They were looking for talents, and when they found them (and they were somehow good at it), they worked hard on them to give the maximum chances to make hits and above all, a name that would last.
Now, they are signing as much as they can, with ridiculous budgets, and wait until 5% of them makes it thru. Then they drop the loosers ...
Then the 5 % have more studio time to work on a second album, and if they sell more, they are good, otherwise, they hit the road ...
I don't know, may be the situation is worse in France, where I live, and I'm over reacting ...
