Comment on Music Packaging Today: An Interview with Sarah Robertson and Scott Pollack of A to Z Media by James Beaudreau

Marcos, that’s very interesting. I would have thought it would be the opposite: that optical readers would be a thing of the past, requiring (perhaps) obsolete hardware, but that files would be readable. Provided that they had been regularly backed up.

I am surprised that longevity was not brought up –it is more likely that your grandchildren will be able to play your *replicated* (mass-produced) CDs rather than the MP3s in your hard drive, regardless of the convenience of the latter.

Hi Sam C — I’m sorry I didn’t get to some questions about the DVD-A versions with Andy, it’s a good point, would have been interesting. If I get more info I’ll post to the comments here. Thanks for reading. -JB

I wish the interviewer had asked about the extent of Andy’s involvement in the mastering of the DVD-Audio versions of these albums, and in particular how much, if any, collaboration there was with Elliot Scheiner who mixed the In Absentia DVD-A. I’d be very curious to hear about that aspect of the process.

Fantastic insight into the mysterious world of Steven Wilson’s production and engineering methods. Thanks for that!
