Yeah but your forgetting you couldnt record on CDs back then!
DATS were asked about everyday and no one could get them,
the public was really anticipating the DAT to become the next
serious media but it never happened thanks to the record industrys
fears...

Of course the CD now that it is easily recordable and so damn
cheap is much better for most of us.. It backfired on the record
industry this time....

Nice conspiracy theory, but I remember looking at dats and thinking
"man, it takes forever to fastward a tape, but those CD's are sure fast...".
