   But how many people listen to classical music on their MP3 players? Would be   
   a very small market I think! As I already said, dummy head recordings don't   
   work well with pop music production methods.   
   And I am not at all convinced 3D television will catch on this time around   
   either. Just another chance to sell some more equipment before the novelty   
   wears off again for another decade or two IMO.
