I've never understood the compromise of 44.1kHz and its upsampled 88.2kHz versions; and had someone asked me, I would have chosen 64kHz as the one and only sampling rate ever available. But that would not have made it possible to enter the bigger-number-is-better game, would it?

The 44.1 KHz is as you know the CD Red Book standard so that's the only reason it really exists. But exactly why that specific number was chosen I have no idea. I know that the electronics in use at the time it was developed may have had something to do with it as well as upper limits of human hearing, but still..........
