you've also gotta place some blame on the *general* music buying
public...they're the one's who eat up whatever the industry is
serving...

i agree - it is sad...but back to my above point...
most people don't listen to music the way most of us here do.
"in the background" is what the general population uses music for,
while at home, driving in their cars, etc. most people here are
musicians or dj's (or wannbe musician's or used to be a dj - like me ;-> ),
and our musical interests span a quite larger expanse than your average joe.
i don't mean to seem *high and mighty* either...it's not most people's
fault that they have no taste in good music <hehe>
