What is the world coming to? I will never understand why people would choose to use a computer as a stereo system. No matter what speakers you attach to a computer, the sound will never be as good as a hi-fidelity system. MP3s are fine for portable MP3 players, but you will never convince me to dump my stereo and rely on a computer. As I have said before, we ought to be investigating options that improve sound, not degrade it.
So, I was disheartened to learn that SanDisk is working with four record labels to sell music on SD cards. I just don't get it.
The really interesting thing is that the vinyl that is sold these days is superb. Most of it would equate with the old half-speed masters produced for audiophiles. But, I guess audiophiles are now all old men - all old men, and me, that is.
At least SanDisk plans to include the cover art, which you can look at on your computer, which is something, I suppose. But, it's like fake cover art, since it's not really a cover. I miss the LP format for many reason, mostly because of the large cover art and legible liner notes.

I love old vinyl albums. For some reason the whirring and popping sounds are extremely comforting to me.
As for my tattoo, thanks! I'm a huge HST fan (obviously).
we're dinosaurs, fish.
I hear ya!! That's why I'd NEVER give up my vinyl collection.
Have you noticed that a lot of the MP3 versions don't sound like true stereo. Back in the old days, I loved it when a guitar riff would magically zap across the room from one speaker to the other.
I also question why people would choose to watch a movie on their PC, at home. I have a lovely 30 inch TV and a recliner in my living room for that purpose. I'll stick to the DVD format, thank you very much!
