Too Hard...like your head..its full of concrete or something far more revolting. Theres no point in continuing this until I find the article I read, Meanwhile go and listen to your compressed music.

Compressed music?!!!!!!!!!!!
What's Mp3 in your opinion?

It might not sound different but it is!

Not the very last bit, and I'm not saying don't use mp3, by any means. The point is that since whenever you encode mp3 you lose information, that means that it will never be able to replicate the original perfectly. It might come very very close and be indistinguishable on nearly every sample, but there will always be at least one piece of music that sounds audibly different (likewise if you use lossless compression, there will always be a file which gets larger instead of smaller), and some people (I'm sure oliverstoned is one of them) with high end equipment can differentiate even top bitrate encodings of "normal" songs.

The reason I doubt mp3 is the format of the future is that there are at least two formats which are far more efficient. While ogg's been around longer, I suspect if any of today's codecs catch on it'll be AAC, simply because Apple have such a share in the market.

But hey, people can use whatever they like - if at some point I have any money I'll look into DVD-A (looks like I'll have to buy all my favourite albums again... ), and for that reason I'm not buying any King Crimson CDs since I think they're being reissued in not too long, although Red is really really tempting me..!

you say they are more efficient....are these digital formats other than mp3 close to the quality of analog stuff ? what about .wav files that are not compressed half as much as mp3?

Maybe, it will be better when the technology will be improved, but for the moment, it doesn't work.

So don't bother with DVD-A, you'll have a better sound with on of those good english "little" CD player above,
i swear!
Don't me fooled my the marketing and advertisement!
They are lying on these new supports, telling it's better, like they were lying about the CD being better then the vynil.
On the other hand, the Blue ray disc, which will replaces
the DVD will offers a greatest video quality,cause it contains much more informations.
But for sound...forget!
