Au contraire, mon frere -- actually I'm not advertising anywhere or, for that matter, representing SD products. I strongly support the company and believe in the products and people. However, I don't have the time for this, my schedule is slippery, audio is far from being a significant income in our home, etc.
But, that's not the point. Actually, I don't think (heresy) that there is anything wrong with MP3 or that, for that matter, it is an injustice to use MP3 with the Transporter. I'm thinking of my own collection (which totals at around 1,500 or so CDs). Quite a few CDs are pop music that gets no more attention than background music -- when cooking, having dinner, playing with the kids, doing laundry, hanging with friends. IE, stuff that will never, ever, be listened to "critically." If you're listening to some old poorly recorded rock album while stirring sauce in the kitchen...who really cares if it is lossless or MP3? I'd rather have it compressed and save space for that part of the collection that is meaninful to me. Part of this revolution -- and I really do think it is a revolution in how we organize and listen to music -- is versatility. I like one or two Meatloaf songs, maybe once or twice a year, max. Do I really need to have that album in lossless format? No. Besides, I own the CDs and can rescan them or play them in a transport whenever I like. C'est tout. Adieu!

It's about the music. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ highdudgeon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2195 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30594 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
