In Reply to: Is it the Indie labels or Itunes and other digital distributors that are at fault? posted by Frihed89 on October 29, 2010 at 13:42:59:
You're talking about several different issues. The original question concerned Hi-Res downloads. Many of these "indie" labels are run on a shoestring budget, with a skeleton staff. I don't think the return would be worth their investment, to set up a high resolution download service for a handful of users.
Regarding recording quality; more and more of these recordings are being made in the artist's "studio", by themselves, on their laptop. The technology is cheap enough, and so widely available, that there is an "anyone can do it" kind of mentality. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the results do vary.
With respect to the delivery service; let's not forget that iTunes etc. was founded as much on convenience as anything else. Until bandwidth improves, they are going to continue to offer "lossy" formats, that download nice and quickly.
