No offense to MP3 lovers, but these devices irreparably harmed the fundamentals of recorded music given their inherently lo-fi nature and lossy codec. Generations will grow up never having heard music reproduced with all the information intact, nor will they ever experience true hi-fidelity. Convenience and portability are all fine, but the overwhelming loss of attention span, and the commodification of music as disposable bits - nothing to celebrate there in the least.
