Why is 65% of all music sold in the U.S. via compact disc? 17 years ago
yes, but we're not talking about P2P - we're talking about sales, where itunes has 70% market share and files at just 128-256kbps.

i think we are witnessing a growing dichotomy in the purchase and use of digital media. one group has invested in high-quality sound system(s) and CDs are the highest quality form of music you can purchase (other than SA-CD and DVD-audio of course, and vinyl some would argue.) on the other hand, you have the group that wants to purchase tracks one at a time and listens to them on their ipod/laptop/docking station and the sound quality of downloads is 'good enough'.
