Reading through the referenced article I found that they seem to be confusing a lossy compressed file with a higher bit rate (think 24bit mp3 file) with a losslessly compressed file but with a lower bit rate (think 16bit flac file).
I would much rather have a 16bit flac than a 24bit mp3. And why would one think that any record company executive knows even the slightest bit about computer and digital audio? All the record companies have done over the past 5 years is find new and better way to go bankrupt. No they are not "geniuses" as stated in the article but rather they are for the most part complete morons. The Apple iTunes store has eaten their lunch. -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 (oops) -> Touch 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85846 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
