Things HAVE changed. It isn't about the intellectuality of the lyrics, or the coherency of the audience. Its about the fidelity of the medium and the variety of the programming. The modern market is so much more segmented, due to cable TV and the internet. 50 million people won't be watching Ed Sullivan anymore. The way that the industries chose to reach all those segments on such limited bandwidth is to distribute material digitally, and the crude state of digital playback over the last 20 years limted fidelity. What we fear is that now that listeners have grown accustomed to such low fidelity (mp3), will they ever value better fidelity again?
