It is also a huge issue with me personally that a dj would play out and get paid to play someone elses music and not be willing to pay for it. I know the psytrance scene in particular is riddled with mp3 dj's, and the labels are finally picking themselves up out of the mp3 rut that has lasted many years. I'm sure as other genres move to cds, the same thing is happening.
Also, as far as taking an mp3 and working on it in Cubase, anything lost in compression cannot be recovered. |
you don't have to play low quality mp3's. i'd love to give you a test at a club between a wav and a 320 mp3 and see if you can tell.
and the bootlegging thing is a completely different issue. people pay for mp3's at places like beatport. and let's not get into THAT debate....
