The bottom line is no CD would sound anywhere near as good as it does without the technology used prior to us getting our grubby little hands on it. Having said that, I still think they are overpriced; compared to how much the artists see of the profits.

I'm with you on that. With the technology allowing more and more people access to recording facilities, I'm more than happy to see the monolithic multinational record labels get squeezed out. I'm impressed by many of the smaller, Canadian labels (Nettwerk, True North, etc) who seem to realize that it is the artists and the fans who are the important ones.
