Oops...no I had missed that article but I am (as you have read) in perfect agreement. And I thought the Hi-Rez Audio definition ONLY applied to equipment, not media. Did Amazon just wave a wand and change that?
The world of music media (And hardware) if full of dishonesty and deception...preying on people who do not appreciate the powerful influence of expectation bias.
I switched from LPs to CDs in the late 80s and never looked back. I played around with SACD in the 90s and decided, while it sounded better, it wasn't a significant enough improvement to buy all my music over again. Many, like me, caused that marketing effort to fail. I'm thinking Amazon may end up with egg on their face.
