I just saw that Sony and BMG plan to merge. This could be good news for all the BMG music club members if we can now get access to the Sony music catalog. Maybe even some SACDs will included in the selection.

So what do you think, is this a good thing or a bad thing about to happen?

I think Time Warner is going to merge with EMI...

as for Sony... 20,000 people will soon lose their jobs...

I would say that less competition is normally bad, but in this case, the major labels have already been acting monopolistically, so I'm not sure it will really make a difference (except, perhaps, for even less diversity from them -- if that is possible.)
