I’m all for online delivery. I’ve started buying this way in the last couple of months – and the ’sample before buying’ feature and ‘buy only what you want’ make it very attractive, on top of the lower cost. But it’s no good solely supplying it in MP3 format. Listening on the PC or iPod is OK, but played back through a good system and the level of compression – of all kinds of music, not just orchestral but the latest Elbow album for instance – is wholly unacceptable: Rattle’s Mahler Symphony No 9 was initially retailed in this way before physical release – but what was the point? I know a lot of consumers don’t care, but we can’t have superior quality eliminated from the market place just for the sake of convenience and profit.
