I can't believe that anyone can tell the difference when the car is moving. Stopped, with a great system, sure. I'm not talking MP3s at 64kb, but 350kb and higher MP3 or better Ogg don't lose much. Sure there is processing, but its about the music, and we used to listen to AM in the car and be moved by the music. > As for having 4,000 CD's, that's really not all that many. What percentage to you listen to in any year? Seriously, its a huge collection. > I've heard of people that have around 10TB of flac files. I've never heard of anyone who has legally bought 10 TB of flac files. Nor can I imagine wanting to listen to 10TB of music > As for 2,000 sales being a success I'd wish that was the case.

I did not say that 2000 copies is going to make money, but if you look at the long tail, selling 2000 copies is way up the sales curve. A lot of CDs sell a few hundred. Even the Dixie Chicks are on record saying that their CD sales don't make money, and they move a lot of CDs -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
