When is digital going to get the soul of music?

Been there for years... Museatex Bidat.

I haven't looked further into this site, but this does work. http://pwp.att.net/p/pwp-oritekaudio

multi layered discs do cost more to manufacture than single layered.

Jabo - it is probably penny difference.

They sell us same DVDs for $20 that they sell in China for $2. In order to protect their insane profits they forced DVD player makers to play only one region (otherwise somebody would export DVDs from China to US). They would not sell in China (and other places)at loss. How is it possible that things like CDs or DVDs that supposed to cost couple of dollars cost so much - the same way breakfast serial cost $4 instead of $1 - phony competition and monopoly.

actually dual layers are nearly twice as much to manufacture. cd's, sacd's and dvd's contain royalty payments to artists, publishing royalties, marketing costs, e&o insurance, and numerous other guild payments....i'm sorry, but a 2 dollar dvd sold in china or anywhere is a pirated copy, unless its a cut-out and the royalties were already paid. sometimes cover art and/or an artista likeness needs to be licensed as well.
