From: Rob MacKillop [1]luteplay...@googlemail.com
I haven't quite reached a million hits (wow!) but the number of plays
far outnumbers the number of CDs I've sold, or mp3 files downloaded.
It
is the primary medium for reaching people. For those of us interested
in sound, this is not a good thing as the sound tends to be poor, and
usually played on crap computer speakers.
Hello Rob,
Take a look at this link

e-End-of-the-Loudness-War.aspx
to an article by Rip Rowan of prorec fame.
In the comments section at the bottom, mp3-is-not-the-answer mentions a
hope for a new mp4 format that will be standardized and have much
better and consistant sound quality than the current non-standardized
mp3s.
Computer speakers themselves do tend to be low-end. But don't a lot
people download the music from the computer to play it on their mp3
players through decent headphones/earbuds?
You might like to check out the archives to the Linux Audio Users group
or join their mailing list to find out some of the interesting things
going on in the world of music played on and made by computers.
