HiFi has been a good thing. It is what all audio components aspire to. Quality of components has been rated as budget, mid-fi and hi-fi (high fidelity). Hi-Fi is what audiophiles would purchase because this is the equipment striving to be the best.
Now in the persuit of this holy grail, the highest resolution equipment can be a mix of hi-fi sound or like real music. Both are positve qualities in terms of sound reproduction, but obviously it's real music that's more desireable. Especially today, more and more components can sound like music.
Hi-Fi is a good thing, consider mid-fi and low-fi as inferior reproduction.
Now obviously there can be some musical qualities to even low-fi sound.
