    well considering that CD's are digitally recorded and locked at 128kbps the whole argument is invalid, maybe theres one there for vinyl but not cd's

    It's a wee bit more, like 1,411 kbps -ish

    Is there any realistic hope for the physical copy in this day and age though? I'm only 24 but I still do vinyl and CD's, my father has an extensive collection of both. The music industry has changed greatly in the last decade. The arts of songwriting and musicianship have died a death in popular chart music. These days you've got silly women and boys sprouting processed pop.
    I actually think the quality has improved (though still is lacklustre) the mid/late 1990s - early 2000s was a staggeringly awful period for mainstream music quality.

    Am I the only one who preferred the Henry Street shop to the Grafton Street one, by the way? It was smaller, but had a better layout and more of an 'intimate' feel (for want of a better word) - Grafton Street always felt cold to me, like Tesco for CDs, DVDs, games and posters.

    Fingers crossed they re-open soon, sourcing last minute birthday presents has been a right bugger since they closed.
