I read on The Register the other week about how trials are beginning of selling music on USB sticks instead of CDs.
In theory I think this could be great; freed from the constraints of the CD format we could have higher sample rate and bit depth, and no need to rip at all - the files, error-free and properly tagged, could just be dragged & dropped straight onto a hard disc. Of course, it won't be like that in practise. It'll be compressed music, in a proprietary format, crippled by DRM, and sold at a higher price because of the 'convenience'. If I'm wrong, and USB sticks are sold with music on that actually is high quality and portable, I'll happily eat one. And upload the video to YouTube. -- AndyC_772 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AndyC_772's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10472 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39438 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
