Just look up the stand alone balance sheets of each major and also check out the salaries versus other industries....the good ol days are long gone. Everyday there is a job cut, the lucky ones get a salary freeze...... Super normal profits my A**!

The CD is not dead. What do I not get with a download? I don't get superior fidelity. All the download formats are compression schemes that cannot match the fidelity found on a CD. I don't get the little extras that a CD brings such as that booklet with the lyrics, notes about the songs and how the album was made, the players, etc. I also don't get to experience songs I don't already know. I cannot tell you how many times my favorite song on a CD turns out not to be one of the ones I bought the CD for. I strongly disagree. The CD is not dead. What do I not get with a download?

I have no interest in spending hours on the computer ripping my CD and LP collection on my computer and transferring it to an IPod or other MP3 player, or searching for songs on ITunes or other music sites. I don't want to sacrifice the superior, near master, audio quality for the degraded frequency response and compression of an MP3 file. I guess if it comes down to the CD going away and I can only buy tunes online, I will probably just stop buying music altogether and just listen on my satellite radio receiver.
