Few units had been sold because those who wanted 'quality' sound didn't
buy it - although at the high bit rates then on offer it was fine.

But very expensive.

No more so than an upmarket FM tuner. We're talking about Hi-Fi use rather
than portable radios, etc.

Now it has taken off due to offering a wide choice of stations at low
quality on most it's rather too late to complain.

It is. More capacity is the only thing that helps.

It certainly seems to appeal to lots of the public. Easy selection of
stations and freedom from multipath that effects so many portable FM
radios round the house.
