Something tells me that they are both flash in the pan technologies. Copyright holders need to find a way to deal with digital media. There needs to be a compromise between the justified expectation for casual consumers to want to make copies wth with the content providers justified desire to get paid for the products they produce. Until then media with 'extra clarity' probably isn't going to take off. The mass market wants convenience. It doesn't care about a few extra bits in the sound recording. The next big shift will almost certainly be a variation of DRM yet to be invented yet. Content provided digitally will open up a lot of distribution options that I think consumers would appreciate-and in the process the content providers can create something that would make those of us with audio OCD happy for another few years.
