been coming for a long time and IS only a matter of time before any who desire quality formats will have to go to a specialty music outlet www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/viewpoint/1206/audio_sound_effects.htmI thought this would happen earlier when the MP3 generation made the ridiculous claim that MP3 was the equal of the CD (reminiscent of the eighties when the CD crew cliamed it bettered analog yet here we are thirty years later still trying to make digital sound like analog ) but i was wrong.Wrong not in that the masses will no only except crap but pay for it but wrong in how we would get there on the spiral down in SQ of playback formats. I thought it would be the easy download/soft wallet bite of individual songs combined with a wide seletion of portable players that would make this a reality but it took a SINGLE PLAYER AS LIFESTYLE,the iPOD and a closed system to make it happen. i have to wonder if this is such a step foward and if standards of what is expected in a quality playback medium have slipped so far why we ever got rid of the "original" recordable portable music medium-the audio cassette which head to head STILL whips any lossy compression formats ass if your aim is quality music
