Is this the future of audio/music magazines?

207.200.116.66

...on the Music Forum I became aware of a new TAS sister publication focusing on music called Playback I hadn't seen before.

It pulls some of its articles from TAS and The Perfect Vision.

And it has a lot of ads.

The best part is that it's free online.

Looks pretty slick.

Is this the future of audio publishing?
