Not True!
Petty Officer, if I understand you correctly, you don't use computer audio.. all anyone here has done is try to be convincing why you might try it and why we love it. No one has tried to KILL all other audio formats. I have a turntable, 2 cd players and a tuner. I use computer audio. The only militant responses have been yours.
Sorry I recommended you go fishing, didn't think you would act like the fish was a relative or something. Yes, I'm sure there is more stress for the fish. I solve stress kicking back and listening to tunes and yes, most often using computer audio.... I can see there is no convincing you this is a good format, you constantly turn suggestions and our own experience into battles and then call all of us Militant. I'm on no crusade brother and done with this thread. Enjoy your tunes everyone, I'll talk with you on some other pages. Tim

"I want-Live And Let Live- with all Audio Formats, including Computer Audio"! Sheesh- I have to quote myself?
Can you guy's read? Did I.Q.'s just drop off sharply?
Mapman- you are completely way off base! I want to be able to play my CD's in a CD Player, and be able to Rip them- I
want both! I also want to be able to Download. I do not want one to be mutually exclusive of all others, as some
Computer enthusiasts would desire. I do use Computer Audio,
and CD, SACD, DVD-Audio, XRCD, K2 HDCD. I pick and choose
the Sound Quality that I like across many Formats. Most
Formats sound like a mixed bag of S.Q.! Same release in
one Format might sound wonderful, in another Format it
sounds awful. Different release ends up in reverse order.
People are generalizing about which Format sounds best.
Whatever your preferences may be. A single Audio Format,
Computer Audio Downloading, eliminates my purchasing power
by minimizing my choices as a Consumer of other Audio Formats. This would be desirable for Manufacturer's to
maximize profits. It would also allow Manufacturer's to
shoot Consumers like "Fish in a Barrel". This is what you
think the Market will dictate, no matter what you or I think; But, you desire it never the less. Yes, the Market can dictate a Monopoly of only one Audio Format. No one likes a Monopoly that makes the American Consumer weak, and
helpless. Eliminate the purchasing power of the Consumer, and there will be a backlash! Backlash against what? The
only thing that you will be left with will be Computer Audio. You want to exclude other Audio Formats, and you are very aggressive towards that goal. I am arguing a losing battle of inclusion, which you seem to be picking apart like meat off of a corpse! Not exactly Live and Let Live towards all other Audio Formats. Make up your mind what you really want! You can't be a Predator, and be polite towards your Prey (Other Audio Formats)- maybe if
you were a Spider you might be a little bit more convincing. If you call my other Audio Formats Prey, I believe you. You think that you can be polite about it?

Petty, this is the last thing I'm going to say to you because I think this has been done to death:

STOP TELLING ME WHAT I WANT!

Believe it or not, I know what I want - and it's not what you seem to think I want- so stop thinking it!

Wow, hit a nerve? I am not trying to tell you what you want, I am trying to understand what "IT IS" that you want
with: "Soon all New Music will only be available as Music
Downloads"! It would appear that you desire a vacuum of any
other competing Audio Format, and the elimination of any
alternate purchasing choices that I might have. I am kind of surprised by this! You say that the Market will dictate
this regardless of what you desire. We call that a
"Monopoly" in a Capitalist Society "WHENEVER" a Manufacturer manipulates the Market towards a single
purchasing choice. You say that this is the way it is going to be. I say that it is very, very, very bad- and
requires immediate correction. Any Monopoly always turns out to be bad for the Consumer, even eventually bad for the
Manufacturer, and especially bad for the Market (This case:
Audio)! Economic History bears this out, it isn't even
close to being arguementative- from the Great Depression to
our current Recession. Monopolies collapse- and you want to put Computer Audio in the middle of this collapse? Well,
I guess that will leave us with "No Audio Format"! Thanks
alot for looking after us instead of your ego.

Sorry Petty, only so much of this twisted logic, revisionist history and paranoia I can take. I see most gave up on you a long time ago - now I am doing the same. I'm outta here.
