As the size of a common album is, it's hard to say it'd be anything to do with space. Though if they're looking for quality, they could switch to a different format. But the main thing here is how the music company is coping with pirates and how they'll copy-protect future CDs. P2P is getting popular, not for free songs, but as a convenient way to find any song. I think the battle here is where and how. If you want to buy a 1980's song, you generally can't find them in your local store. But on P2P you can find them easily. iTunes is making an online store, but the payment methods are hard as the general personal doesn't really feel comfortable about typing credit card numbers onto a computer.
