With CDNOW the biggest online retailer of CDS looking
very shakey, is it really a good time to get into EStar?
Maybe, but for the longer term I think.

At the moment I buy CDs from CDNOW. They have alot of
pretty obscure stuff which I'm interested in and
have sound samples of most albums. 

With CDNOW, the biggest online retailer of CDs looking
shakey, is it really a good time to get into EStar?

Maybe the best approach is to be cautious, buy a
small packet of shares in the IPO just in case
it takes off. Then look for a price drop after
listing and buy more then?

(disclosure -I won't be buying any myself)

P.S.

The fidelity of several MP3s I've downloaded from 
the net were not up to CD standard and didn't
impress me at all.

But I guess that since teenagers are probably the 
biggest buyers of music and often don't care about
the quality of it then MP3s it is definitely a threat 
to the music industry. In my opinion it serves the 
music companies right for overcharging on CDs for years.

DVD-audio will blow CDs away in terms of fidelity,
but then again this may not be a big drawcard since
CD's were worse than vinyl and few people noticed.
