Hi Bob,
PHEW, GLAD WE'VE GOT THAT ONE OFF THE TABLE, THOUGH THIS SEEMS LIKE A BIT OF
A RETRENCHMENT?
Yikes. Given this reaction and that of Soulfood it is clear that there are some out there who just havent lived without disks. Anyone who has put all their music on computer will understand my statement. THere is no retrenchment or whatever Soulfood accused me of doing.
Let me try to explain it. When I say more music I really mean music you might not remember or havent heard in years. See most of the time I think most of us listen to the same 30% of our collections. Most cds probably have 3-4 good songs on them and the other 7 get quickly forgotten. When it is all on a computer you can get those songs easily if you want. I hear songs I never knew I had some times.
So I am not necessarily saying that you get to listen to MORE music because it is too hard without a computer. NOt at all. Like most philes I dont mind some effort to hear the music come alive. That comment really spoke to listening to more of your music collection.
Here is a post by Gordon that speaks to it better than I can:

Yes better reproduction of the music is what I mean by better sound. Actually I cant think of how they could differ.
Yeah I too like to focus on the music. Sit in the listening chair and just connect. Believe it or not I AM an audiophile. I knew there was a stigma about computers but I thought that was long dead. Guess not.
IME the computer brings me closer than my cdp/dac did. That is why I keep the computer. If it didnt offer better sound then I would be spinning disks.
