Why should I or anyone else for that matter, purchase their music on DVD when HD-DVD and Blu-Ray are around the corner? What will music sound like then?

I wonder if I've got any. To be honest I'll buy whatever it is as long as I'm getting my music I'm happy - but I definately want a physical copy as I just don't feel I own it if it's just on my computer and MP3 player. I like all the sleeve notes and lyric books and I like having lots of CDs about, be they dual discs or not. I’d never even realised that there was dual disc technology.

I still haven't moved into the realms of the new-fangled iPods and MP3 players (I sound like an old man...) and will be happy with just using my battered, but servicable, CD player.

I think the ISPs down here generally offer 16Mbit speeds as you can get that speed even if you live quite further away. But yeah, things like ADSL2+ make easy distribution of this high-quality audio possible, but it'll be a while before it's the norm.

CD beat out tapes for me due to their size (much thinner) and the fact that you can move between tracks simply more than the actual sound quality. DVD, obviously, hasn't got an additional trump-card in that area so I don't think this will mean that much to me. Digital downloads, however, have increased convenience over a CD so I'm using them more than buying physical disks. In regards to download rates not being suitable, I note today that a new ISP startup in London is offering a 24MB download rate using ADSL2+ (something I'd never even heard of until this morning). 24MB...that's mental...
