Let's add with respect to Pono:
-a poster quotes Mark Waldrep, a bitter competitor who on his blog made
numerous false statements about Pono
-Abe continually asks "what is the point" of the pono player and is told repeatedly this thread is not about the player, but the download store.
-Abe continually asks "what is the point" of the music store and is told repeatedly:
-they have exclusive content not available anywhere else currently,
-that Neil Young has convinced other veteran musicians to remaster their catalogs for beyond CD resolution distribution,
-that if an album becomes available in a higher resolution at some point in the future, the purchaser will have free access that download,
-their content dwarfs HDT and Acoustics Sounds combined,
-even if none of the above were the case, a third download store is good for the consumer, as competition always is.
Despite all this, the response is a trolling, "So there is no point".
THAT is a good summary.
