Today I decided to listen to a CD – yeah, these shiny things that contain music… they were in use before mp3 took over the market and we all started downloading mp3 like crazy

Anyway, because I didn’t have a mp3 recording of Beethoven’s 5th symphony I played it from CD… and I got tears in my eyes.
The music, so crystal clear, so voluminous, so…. deep. It has been some time that my MB Quart speakers have produced such a sound.. the sound they were produced for.

I then went to my harddrive and began erasing all <192k mp3 files, making notes to replace them with either VBR mp3 files (see “how to make perfect mp3 files”) or converting straight away to OGG, AAC+ or even lossless FLAC. Never again do I want to listen to crappy mp3 sound without a “soul”

I have not been listening to a CD for.. I don’t know how long. Time to re-invent the wheel ;)
