General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

I keep getting the feeling...

... that computer-based audio is still in the "rabbit hole" phase of it's evolution. So, I would tend to agree with what Todd Krieger is saying.

Computer-based audio should always be easier than loading a CD into a tray but it is not always so, at least not at this point in time. I should always know exactly what I'm getting and the music should always play exactly as I expect it to, each and every time I push or swipe something that resembles a "play" actuator.

Instead, I go to Computer Asylum and notice that, as a "format replacement" of sorts, computer-based audio can be as fiddly and time-consuming as any physical format ever was... or is. Software problems, followed by hardware problems, followed by...

So that one gets the feeling that one is not completely sure of what one is actually getting, in the end (no pun intended). Marketing and holography don't mix very well, at least not for me. It should not be possible to walk two or three steps ahead of wherever the hell it is that the sidewalk ACTUALLY is.
