I don’t think people are going to stop buying vinyl. What transpired at MoFi is sad and hopefully we can expect complete transparency moving forward with their process and origin of the recordings. And this incident sets a precedent for others to be transparent. We still have folks like Chad Kassem that deeply cares about origin and restoration of our recorded music. I always appreciated his efforts and believed their recordings, digital or analog are more faithful to the source.
Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito
Here's a link to a Washington Post article on the recent dustup with MoFi. The comments section (including posts by Michael Fremer) are interesting.

“I bet the majority of listeners actually like highly compressed music.” @larryi …sadly majority of listeners just don’t care. Spotify still has the largest subscriber base due to their vast catalog, streaming in 160kbps - 320kbps range. |
