Where on earth do you get hold of the notion that people (men?) who
listen to classical music are 'more intelligent and canny' than other
music genre followers?!

Rob


Because classical music is generally far more complex and demanding
than modern pop - it takes a greater degree of intelligence to
understand and appreciate it.



** Nice example of circular logic - ie using one's opinion to prove an
opinion.


As for canny - classical listeners are
in general older and thus much less prone to purchases based on
fashion and peer pressure.



** So " older " people are not subject to fashion or peer pressure ??

The entire world's advertising industry will be cackling loudly at that
nonsense.


that is why they, in general, have not
followed the MP3 path to any great degree,



** An utter non sequitur.

Using Occam's Razor to cut though Don Pearce's pompous puke -

the explanation is that the MP3 format offers no practical advantages to
most classical music fans.

With the exception of digital radio and internet radio, of course.
