I tend to agree, it's the music that matters not the medium, but sometimes the material nature of some media carry bonus points in the form of tangibility-inspired context for listening. My CDs usually sound great too.PatrickDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13954862314456749711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5131917496301371356.post-9538476285215908622020-05-01T23:50:08.925-05:002020-05-01T23:50:08.925-05:00I agree entirely, though my fix is provided by CDs...I agree entirely, though my fix is provided by CDs, notLPs.Having made the decision sometime in 1990, the switch-over was painless (arguments about which format sounds better are to me as the farts of mayflies), and pulling out the CD version of an LP I originally bought in my teens provides every bit as much nostalgic value as the ur-vinyl would. Streamed or downloaded music, on the other hand, doesn't raise much sense of past experience, even if the noise is familiar (a personal reaction, obviously), The kicker for me, though, is the medium itself. Having sat working at a bloody computer for eight hours, the last thing I want to do is to play with another one in my leisure time.Jimnoreply@blogger.com
