    I'd heard it was the record companies who demanded different pricing.........

    At £3 an album already, by the time they release Flac it'd be around £5. At that price you may as well wait for the marketplace price to drop and buy the CD!

    And yep, it's the record companies that say they're not getting a good enough deal - not enough profit/royalties or something like that..
