However, the amount of "crap" isn't lessening any... I still get the same amount of absolutely JUNK in the mail... it's just not profitable for people anymore ;) On the flip side, some really talented folks are struggling. That's the unfortunate by product of it all. Great point.

It's forced "truth" in music. For example, a teeny bopper can buy the Britney Spears single instead of the album aka she's not forced to buy the album. For our scene, it forces those to make quality music. This may or may not be true, but I like to think of it as a good thing. It’s forced “truth” in music.

I've really been thinking about CDs as investments lately. If I remember that I have cash invested in the project, I'll listen to it more and try to dig beneath the surface to really "get my money's worth". If I'm not looking for a quick "freshness" fix in a CD I'll get a lot more out of it and I'm more willing to shell out the cash. I'm sitting here listening to my original version of ProPain. Fresh fresh stuff. If all I did was hop on the pop music bandwagon and listen to spoon fed radio stuff, I'd have moved on, forgotten about older gems (listened to Backbreakanomics last week), and downloaded the latest whatever. Even if you download the older stuff, what is it worth to you? What do you have invested in the CD? Nothing. It's the sugar rush of the music industry. Word.

I've always wanted that as part of the process with records I work on knowing that having product available during the long run is smart.

If you haven't peeped it, I'd recommend it. I agree with you bro.
