They should have what their target market wants. They're in business to
make money, not to cater to audiophiles. I'm guessing most audiophiles
spend more than $50 on their DVD player anyway, especially if they're
going to use it to play music.
It's not about who cries the most; it's about meeting demand. If there
was more demand (not cries) for lossless codecs, then I'm certain you'd
see more companies meeting that demand.
If you choose to belong to a niche group, you have to accept the
disadvantages that come along with that.
