The best part about MQA bankruptcy..

@erik_squires 

We're not the slowest!!

That's got to be a great vote of confidence, @philosurfer 

I'm guessing that response is a change of position on it (TIC)? Or do people just want faster downloads of cat pictures?

The bit compression, etc. seemed useless in the face of modern internet and phone speeds.

One point is that there are billions of people in the world (and many millions in the US) who technically or financially couldn't access these speeds - so if MQA can be a vehicle that helps in these situations (even though it would rank very low on a priority list in these circumstances), what's the problem? Greater adoption would be great (in the long run) for everyone.

I'm so glad I never spent a dime on MQA equipment, I kept waiting to see if it would really take root...Digital music SUX and this is a good example to remember.  My vinyl records dont get CENSORED or changed like almost all digital is.

I understand where you’re coming from and I agree that there’s nothing wrong with helping people out with compressed -- i.e. easier to download -- files.

We already have MP3 for that -- and it’s free...

...Unlike MQA, with its misleading name, which is exclusive and costly.

And was, annoyingly IMO, promoted and financed under what seems like false pretences (of lossless, master tape sonic quality) which claims were later on retracted....

The best part about MQA bankruptcy is that maybe people who don't like it or don't use it will stop bashing it. Or maybe they will keeping bitching about it for the next 20 years. Probably the latter...

Thanks for the sarcasm and the laugh.😀
