Maybe it's apples/oranges here, but it IS possible to do this well and it guts me that my favorite group can't seem to get it together.

funny you mention them, i worked on one of their websites
a long time ago, and know the manager and representative
that handles all that.. he's a good friend of mine..
we have a lot of discussions about music, and the future of
digital downloads, etc.. he's a big believer in offering as much
product, and as many formats as possible..(however digital is
taking over)...
their situation is different when it comes to the copyrights, back catalogue
etc... i'm pretty sure that underworld's situation is a lot more complicated..
or they might be in the process of doing it now.. not sure about that..
but yeah, underworld need sto work on it, and get someone in charge
to straighten it out, and finally put some order to it.. i'm sure there
would be a lot of volunteers (or even hire somone! hint hint!)
later
