I think that if you compare Vinyl with anything round and shiny, CD's
DVD etc... you have a point Ian. But every generation I know, from 72
to 11 year olds, is now just putting it all on computers. Today my
mother came across your new BBC home page and was really excited
about the iPlayer.... until I tried to explain why she can't access
it from Spain, she is old!
As far as I can see, the wider public have become consumers....
completely. With little intention of keeping physical packaging
beyond the life of the product, which if you can transfer it, is very
short with CD. A little harder with DVD, but we are trying ;-)
Musically, the future for me is in mixing 5.1 or 6.1 mixes. Yes,
everyone will have to own home theatres to hear how great it is....
but with the quality control, up to 96K sampling right now.... and
the large size of files.... it will be a lot easier to control the
delivery and copying through the net. In car this will be awesome to
hear. In this sense I think the future is more about content than
delivery.
I don't see any good reason to buy Blu Ray..... especially if I can
legally torrent HD programmes sometime in the near future. I can get
an Apple TV and loads of HD space for similar money.

I don't know guys, it may have been said multiple times but the
only winner in this battle must be the online services.
However I'm still left wondering when the general public will get
their head around non-physical media. People seem to like the look
and feel of physical media like CDs, Vinyl, DVDs.

What I /heart/ about the pre-2K bit of plastic is the way it takes
control over your TV/DVD and insists that you watch the copyright
notices
Sounds like you need to get yourself a better DVD player.
