SACD, DVD-A, DualDisc and now ... DVD? (Score 1)

The record companies are trying to re-release everything so that they get a sale from each market segment - physical media and data. I am sure they are looking at the person who purchases a CD then rips it (legally) to their iPod (I do lossless) as 2 potential sales of which they only got 1 (the less profitable one). I currently purchase CD's and then put it on my iPod precisely because I can have it at high quality (lossless) for my home stereo as well as for the car and while exercising. The record company looks at it and sees that they are leaving at least $5-45 'on the table' because they can't use the DMCA to force me to buy their album again for each of my uses. Too bad, because this thinking is what continues to get them in trouble, and mp3 sounds terrible on good home stereos.
