Tom,
I believe the music industry is wishing it had never issued music in digital
format. With Napster and others trading music for free, the industry is
worried about losing control completely. It wouldn't be completely out of
the question for them to make a format not backward compatible DELIBERATELY
just to make copying impossible. Hmmm.
