Jim. If you are not satisfied, complain, complain, complain.

I did so for decades. Got nowhere. In classical music things improved when
CD came along. But it looks like that was only temporary in rock/pop music.
Fortunately I still have LPs of most of the old rock/pop I like. So I can
simply not buy the new CD versions in most cases. I wonder how the record
companies count up people like myself who fail to appear at all on their
sales, don't return with a complaint. Presumably assume we don't exist.

Exactly. In recent years I have occasionally bought CDs of modern rock or
popular music (mostly I buy classical music but my tastes are actually
very broad). Often (not always, though) I find myself feeling very
edgy from just the sound quality. The result: I don't buy more modern
music and the music industry thinks their loss in CD sales is because
I'm downloading unauthorised copies for free.
