In Reply to: What exactly constitutes "success" for a hi-rez format? (long) posted by Bayside Bomber on October 1, 2004 at 20:41:32:
A combination of things:
- Sales: reasonable economy of scale
- Quality: elevate music reproduction to a higher plateau
- SINGLE FORMAT: no confusing competitorsGiven how good the compressed music formats are, hi-rez will never be a dominant format. Nevertheless, it is critical for it to carve out big enough of a market to survive. It must clearly differentiate itself from the compressed formats in terms of quality (not just the specs but also production), no matter how under-appriciated this is in the mass market. Finally, the hi-rez market really can't afford to fragment.
