PGMusic's reason for the fixed rate is likely due to the fact that REALTRACKS and REALDRUMS are based on pgm digital recordings of the actual instruments being played.

To accomodate just the addition of 48KHz bitrate would mean having to include two different raw realtrack files for every realtrack, one set at 44.1 and another at 48. That would double the datasize rifht there.

And, it wouldn't stop at just that, providing 48 would mean that someone else would soon be demanding 96KHz.

Knowing PGMusic as long as I have, I sincerely doubt that it could be due to laziness on their part, that's pretty bizarre to even make the accusation.
