"MP3 and similar lossy compression schemes are fine for the typical pop song, at least as long as pop music is stuck where it's been for the last 35 years or so, as something that is played on electric guitars and a drum kit. You lose something, but you don't miss it."What's at issue is not what audiophiles think, but what sells, - the two are largely separate. MP3 is fine, but hi-rez formats are too expensive, and not worth it, as far as the public at large is concerned. The point is that with MP3, - one doesn't have to waste a lot of money on a whole record, - when most people, - only want one or two songs.
A backed up hard drive with 1,000 CDs worth of music is less fragile than 1,000 12" records, and can be played over and over again without the pops and clicks, that one ALWAYS has to listen past, no matter how clean it's kept...
Thoughts from above hit the people down below. There are people in this world who have no place to go
