The only thing I disagree on are using "public and audiofiles" in the same sentence. The general public have never been audiophiles. They don't care. They care about convenience, price, and the romantic attachment to the music and times they've had. Take for instance, early recordings of the 20's and 30's. They are awful in audio quality, but charming to many people vecause of the nostalgia entwined with them. AM Radio, 8 Tracks, Noisy mix-tape cassettes...all are pined for because of nostalgia. Believe it or not, young people have those same feelings for low-fi MP3's. In the end...it's about the music and the lives that connect with it. The medium is just that...a medium. I myself growning up in the 70's have love for ALL of these mediums except MP3's...but because I haven't grown up in the 00's doesn't mean I should discount the power of nostalgia for 120kbps MP3's. It exists. The young public will make it live. Like I do with crappy 8 bit digital delays on the music I make. I like because I like it! A good article and true words about CD’s and vinyl.
