Popular Post Currawong Posted April 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2021 13 hours ago, saturdayboy said: My underlying position is that MQA, and people preferring it, is an entirely insignificant and harmless phenomenon. The reality is, most people don't control their preferences, but are lead along by the mainstream press. When a person or group wants to invade the current list of popular narratives, they have to make a big enough splash to attract significant attention, and make themselves and their ideas the "new normal" or "new right (correct)" thing. With significant enough momentum, they will capture enough people that others will be too afraid to be against the tide of opinion, and will either capitulate or will be drowned out by the captured masses. Thankfully, music file formats and the technicalities behind them are too boring for most people to get worked up about, and with many manufacturers rejecting MQA, not to mention all the major music streaming services, they are facing an uphill battle to even get serious traction. What it shows is a great degree of dishonesty from the major music labels, who would rather ruin music quality if they can make more money. That is very much not harmless.
