I had never heard about the technology that speeds up audio. This would be pretty useful since I never have a half hour to listen to a single podcast. Interesting stuff.

I am anxious to see what comes of all of this. I plan on getting the box set, hopefully for Christmas. Personally, I am tired of the music industry and I think real artists will begin to emerge as the corporate empire begins to crumble. Yeah, that article was fairly new (the one I sent you).

I didn't think those numbers were too bad considering this is a new approach for buying albums. And let's face it, with all the changes in the music industry no one has sales like they used to. ComScore stands by the figures, but apparently Radiohead thinks they did better than that. I'm curious to see what Radiohead's official numbers will be. Just to be clear, I wasn't trying to mislead anyone or misrepresent the facts. I was simply giving an update on some articles that had come out about the issues. I actually thought it was cool that Radiohead chose to release it that way, so I'm not trying to paint the band in a bad light or anything. Joey --Yeah. I know pretty much nothing about sound quality. Thanks for clarifying what's decent and what's not. I can definitely understand people getting kind of mad about the lower quality. I was just trying to be fair to Radiohead by mentioning that the sound quality was higher than the standard iTunes download. I thought I'd try to make a case for both sides.

I think that's why a lot of people were upset about it. Granted, it was higher than Itunes but Itunes 128kbps file bitrate is about the lowest you can go without the sound quality being noticeably bad. Myspace players and mp3s are 96 kbps, which are absolutely terrible sound quality. Listen to a song on their and then listen to it on a cd and you should be able to tell the difference.
