Also, I don't know how we're going to get high school and college kids to move to high-bitrate, multi-channel music recordings when decent gear costs more than they have to spend. Or maybe they really are spoiled enough to be able to afford it. I'm out of touch.
Yeah, but that's always been the case hasn't it? I mean, in college one of us would buy an album and the rest would make cassette copies. These never lasted very long, but everything I ever enjoyed on cassette I later purchased on CD. Isn't that roughly equivalent to the whole mp3 thing?
And there are always companies like Axiom making quality gear at prices that folks can afford if they're interested.
