An insider's theory on falling CD sales (Score 2, Interesting)

I heard a new twist on the "because they put out crappy CDs" theory, a theory that, interestingly enough, came from a friend who is lawyer for one of the big five record labels. She said the reason CD sales are being hurt by file-sharing (a premise I dispute, but, anyway) is that the labels are putting out CDs with one or two "hit" tunes and eight fillers. Naturally, most listeners would rather just have the hits, and they don't want to pay for the schlock. So, they go to Kazaa/Napster/Gnutella etc., get the one or two songs and don't have any interest in hearing the other tunes. Just passing along the theory of someone in the biz.
