Krankschaft April Update

[Jonathan Smith]

Great idea! I'll always buy the CDs, but lossless files are very practical
(although the right to being able to re-download them is appreciated-- they
do get lost sometimes). If *real HD files* (24 bit) were available, I would
even prefer the files (covers for download would be good-- not that I ever
really print them!).

I can't understand the fashion for vinyl. Technology for real HD music has
been around for years (SACD, DVD-A), and blu ray provides even better
opportunities, without needing a special player, but people still want
records. I know the scratches sound nice the and the fluff on the needle is
fun, but why not re-introduce wax cylinders! :(
