"digitzation has not destroyed music."
I disagree for several reasons...... One is that nobody has really been able to grasp and address the RFI issue with digital audio playback....... RFI in my opinion alters how one perceives the music played back. Second is it has been too easy to "overalter" recordings with various types of processing......... Too often there is "too much" processing, where I believe "not enough" processing would have been a far better option. Third, partly related to the RFI issue, there seems to be an inverse relationship between listener enjoyment of the music and bit rate of the playback (CD in my opinion strikes the happiest medium). And finally, it has been too easy to introduce technology that is either phony in its concept (24/192 upsampling, for example) or in its effect (making "good singers" out of hacks).
Since it seems like very few people in recent time truly understand the fragility of music and keeping it intact in recording, digitization of audio has IMO been more abused than used prudently. And I'm afraid that will never change.
