Yogi Berra: Deja Vu All Over Again!
I have some thoughts on this:
1. Sadly, physical media may be almost dead (except for us niche audiophiles). This won't change that.
2. Will the consumer actually spend more $ on a better disc? I doubt it. Maybe they need an $8 a disc replacement.
3. Apple may have scored a coup here but they may be the bigger beneficiary of this by further making Apple's iPod an entrenched standard.
4. How hirez will the albums be? I'm curious if we hit 24/192....does this format signal the final death of DualDisc? of DVD-Audio?
