You may be correct about the origins of 44.1, sounds plausible. I don’t think we are aiming at the same concept. I was there, as perhaps you were too. Average consumers did not posses, could not afford, technology to duplicate CDs easily or to convert a CD to DAT. I can’t recall all this after so much time has passed, but the gist is that somehow the record industry influenced the deployment of technology to reduce lossless duplication ability for consumers. It wasn’t until home computers became so fast and ubiquitous that this changed.
