nonononononononononono, that is my worst nightmare, and I'm not an audiophile. I have serious reservations with paying good money for lossy music - its bad enough that the source material is so badly compromised with the 'loudness wars'. For now I've compromised by only purchasing drm-free lossy formats (emusic). And there is a limited amount I can buy in flac format through zunior.com. Some of the major labels have recently started offering drm-free, hopefully it won't be much longer before they offer flac (or some other open-source lossless). Please please please don't propogate the idea that lossy formats are acceptable. If that kind of thinking persisted, we would all be working on calculators that fill an office. -- nicketynick Wireless SB3, Denon DRA-F101, Mission M31 loudspeakers WinXP SP2 Slimserver, SMC WBR14g router http://www.last.fm/user/nicketynick/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nicketynick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1511 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40409 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
