Count me in. It's absolutely ridiculous that CDs, which have existed for over 30 years already, still offer higher quality audio than you can generally buy digitally. It's a sad truth in general that if you want high quality digital media, you'll either have to buy and rip physical products yourself or resort to piracy - this is true for both audio and video, especially the latter - hell, with video you can barely even BUY anything digitally since it's all either streaming or files DRM up the bum (both of which are ultimately just renting). In case of music, the Bandcamp model should really be the default - one price allows you to get the product in whatever common format you want, be that lossless FLAC or just bog-standard MP3. It would definitely make me buy a helluva lot more music than I currently do. (Though sadly most of the music I listen to would probably still be completely unavailable to me legally thanks to the wonders of region locking, which is another one of those damn things that makes digital media way worse than what it could potentially be.) |
