The music industry as a whole are merely reaping what they've sown. The
artists and the consumers are the ones hurt in the end.

Subject: [ARSCLIST] SACD fans -- some discounts

Amazon has some very aggressive pricing right now on some SACD titles.
Especially some the BMG/RCA 
titles. Big in-general classical sale right now, too. Wonder if this is
clearing out classical 
overstock that can't be sold in now-closed Tower stores. Good buying
opportunity as some titles may 
go out of print.

PS -- cannot post here due to copyrights but interesting story last week in
Wall St. Journal about 
how 1/4+ of CD sales now through big-box stores and those retailers demands
for quick turnover 
hampers any attempts at variety. Then CD sales keep slumping due to
overpriced and boring product, 
and it becomes self-perpetuating as Best Buy and Wal-Mart are reportedly
cutting floor space for 
CD's. Not a good time to be in the music biz.
