It's unfortunate but true. Convenience and price with acceptable quality is what wins marketshare. I mean it appllies to everything really. Super Audio CD never really took off because people decided to stick with what they know and what is cheaper. CD's.

Betamax (or however u spell it) lost out to VHS because its cheaper even though quality was slightly worse. Blu-Ray won over HD-DVD because PS3 owners, out of convenience and common sense, bought blu-ray discs instead of investing in a second player.

And digital downloads will eventually be mainstream because you get what you want straightaway with no hassle. Way of the world really. It's not necessarily a bad thing though. If you prefer CD's or Vinyl buy them but the mainstream wants whats most convenience and cost effective.

I rabbeted on a bit there. lol
