  1. God id be pissed with no lossless release.


  2. That's what pissed me off about Unreleased and Rare (and the whole Complete U2). First up, there were nine or so songs never-before released in any fornat, released in 128Kbps AAC, some of which were absolutely brilliant. They might have been demos and outtakes, but that's absolutely no excuse to put them out there in crap formats because they'd never been released. You can't tell me they were recorded in lossy format.

    No way I'm paying for a poor lossy release. This is why the digital age of online distribution should never take off, unless the record labels, the artists and associated parties agree on doing it right and getting it right. How much does actually releasing an album, on CD cost nowadays? It doesn't even have to have a booklet, just a simple silver CD face and that's it.

    Why not do what Radiohead did? Release the album a few months before the physical release. If the songs are good, people will buy them. Surely U2 know this.
  4. Problem is that a lossy AAC or MP3 is downloaded in a few seconds. People don't want to wait long for their music if they download it. That's the general rule I think. People like us that who want lossless music are in the minority.
  5. I just want to be able to run to the store, go to the right shelf, and be able to pick up a physical regular ordinary music album. That's all I want.


  6. Amen to that

    (Altough I prefer to order it and get it send to me, so I don't have to go outside through the cold )

    Oh I disagree here. I prefer going to the shop myself, I wanna see what I buy, get a free poster with it


  8. Oh yeah...you get a poster with it...The horrible thing is that we don't have a decent music shop in Boxtel...The only one we have has 3000 Rihanna cd's and ABSOLUTELY NO U2...

    And Bol.com (dutch amazon) has a good service

    I'd like to receive some decent music with it.

    Has Rhianna released 3000 CDs? God damn she's good.

    300 Rihanna CD's? Front covers included? Not too bad..except for the music.

    I just want an ordinary cd with sleeves and all. I want something physical!

    Caspar's remark just gave me a thought of something physical:

    Of course I think everyone wants that.
