It's a lot of boring work. Yet you have the capability. My point is that everything gets old. Right now, MP3 music is hot, especially among the young. But it's just a fad.
People buy CDs today and in a few years they'll still be buying CDs.
The distributors and manufacturers of books, music, and movies are frightened by the digital dream. They envision a world where a guy in Nantucket buys a DVD, turns it into an MPEG movie, and puts it on his website. Sure, a few college geeks would do it, but they're the same ones who'd buy one DVD and trade in around the dorm until everyone's watched it. Ever notice the dismal quality of DVD playing software, ebook readers, etc. Contrast that with MP3 players, of which there are thousands.
