My epic fail today:
One of the used Record/CD stores a few blocks from my office is having a moving sale. Everything that's already dirt cheap is another 40% off!
I found three good used CDs for a few dollars each. All are albums I haven't heard before from bands I like.
I hustled back to the office, only to find/realize/remember that there's no CD player in my new laptop at work.
Oh, the agony...
I wonder in the future, will there be people sitting around listening to vintage CDs on they vintage CD players making claims that their music sounds so much better than music streamed from the internet...
People already do that.
But lots of people listen to music on crappy speakers, thus rendering moot any argument about data rate.
Physical media is SO 20th century.
They also do it with compressed bitrates over Bluetooth. Shitty + shitty = amazing sound....Originally Posted by Rare White Ape
I had this argument with a buddy. He said you can't tell the difference between low bitrate and high bitrate music. I can compress the music files copied from disc on my truck to save space on the HD. I had a few different Tool albums, so I started with Jiambi, by the end of the first pair, he wasn't making that claim. I didn't even get to do the Bluetooth stream comparison.
I've bought about 60 CDs since December, I like ripping them to FLAC, which you can't really get.
I've tried teh Applian/Spotify thing, but it's such a clunky clusterfuck, it's not worth it (in my opinion), so I cancelled both.
I just listen to mixes via SoundCloud, podcasts or BBC iPlayer.
