| without the drm, please... Music companies should embrace selling mp3s on cd & dvd's as data on the mp3 format... and try to convince disc makers to make home & portable readers that natively read mp3s off cds and dvds... that's the way to go, evolve or die.. the only obstacle is to make the user interface as simple as possible, because now your talking about hundreds & possibly thousands of tracks.
If you want backwards compatability, you make an audio cd yourself... but for commercial purposes, the audio cd is dead... So says the demise of Tower Records...
If the VOIP and PSTN can coexist and interoperate.. mp3 can coexist and interface with audio cds.. just one will be more popular and widely used than the other.. did I mention cheaper?
Think about it, if the industry is willing to consider blanket licensing.. why not do box sets or compiling of artists tracks on cds & dvds to be sold at retail in mp3 format? If there is any interest in this at all, hardware makers could see a rise in sales of portable / home readers if customers can see more value for their $$. What they have at retail today doesn't do well, so make it better. I don't think they have anything to lose at this point by experimenting with ways to evolve the business model. | |
