Thanks for that!
The major labels have been shockingly slow to adapt to tech change.
At present, a band's complete catalogue can be distributed on one or
two SD flash cards without lossy compression. CDs, MP3s and iPods
will all be obsolete in 5 years or less. It's like the vinyl industry
situation back in 1982. How many vinyl industry people around the
world were forced to adapt?
