@matigo I can understand that though — vinyl has its own sound quality and appeal. Same for those who maintain tape collections and open-reel machines. CDs are just another means of storing digital files.
@matigo But they'd be so much easier for drones to deliver. And cover art is unimportant anyway, unless it's got some sort of hidden message. The only thing I use the liner for is making up for CDDB's awful metadata when it comes to classical music and rare(r) recordings.
@matigo Yeah, but ripping never happens at 48x. I don't get people still use them to distribute music — surely microSD cards would take up far less shelf space…
Doesn't matter how fast the reader is — CDs will always be just as slow.
Of course people download music, legally or otherwise…
@matigo This is what confuses me:
I have so many thousands of classical tracks, I need to expand my library a bit…
…all the while continuing to expand my classical library, particularly with regards to informed baroque recordings and keyboard works.
@kdfrawg I assure you that there is. Extended metadata, accessible through the likes of Audirvana, also allows for Ensemble, Conductor, Soloist, Instrument, Style, and Period fields. // @matigo
@matigo Indeed. The other one no one gets right is accented characters. Cannot stand this…
