1. Comment - Music Store Offers Hi-Def Downloads

   (Oct 1, 2005 - 2:11 PM)

   There may be better quality than 16bit 44khz CD's but there's certainly not much of it readily available. The CD, despite the age old argument that it's not HiFi, has indeed become the standard and most folks are very happy with the quality. I am glad to see such a service as MG and I've long been willing to pay more for higher quality downloads than the current industry standard lossy formats. I think the price is a bargin but they're gonna have to make *ALL* their content available on a per-song purchasing model and nix the $50 annual fee.. The appeal of online music stores is the ability to buy only the songs you want. I have no desire to pay $15 to download a whole CD when I can buy one in the store for the same or less. And I don't like being forced to buy the whole CD when all I want is one or two songs. I think they'll be successful and I welcome their efforts but the business model needs some adjustments in order to capture any significant share of the download market and my hard earned dollars.
