Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved

Unable to respond to, "Mach2Music and Amarra: Huge Disappointment"- Thread. Other Members take free pop-shots!
Apparently some have more Freedom Of Speech than others! I
don't know how many times I have said it, I want Computer
Audio to succeed! It will only succeed if Computers are designed from the ground up to reproduce Music (Same minimum standard applied for Equipment of ALL Audio Formats)! This is common sense Audio Engineering Design. Bandaid Modifications cannot be substituted for absence in design to produce Music! Design it right to EARN the right to become a New Audio Format- same as all other Audio Formats! No Freebee's, No Cutting Corners! Lack of design is what's causing such varied results in S.Q. between
listeners of Computer Audio. I see about 50% negative
responses here on these Threads. It will continue to happen unless you fix it! Blaming me won't help! I am an
Engineer, and I can read results! 50/50 success/ failure
rate- you have an inherit Engineering Design Flaw for the
reproduction of Music via Computers! Shock! Suprise- since
they were never designed for Music! So when is someone finally going to properly design the Equipment/Computer
(From the ground up) for Computer Audio? Do we continue
to treat any real criticism as "HERESY" in the lack of
design in Computer Audio for Music? You tell me what I am
allowed to talk about, and we will both know!

Nonoise- something serious like you're going to have a heart attack? Are you that sensitive?
Hfisher3380- I work for a living. Other people pay me for my savvy. In my Music Enjoyment, being savvy means doing less searching for Music so I can spend more of my valuable time actually listening to it. The Music Format serves me, because I am the one paying for the service- not the other way around as you would prefer. Paying to service the Audio Format is hardly "Savvy".
Chadeffect- A whole lot of noise signifying nothing.
Noble100- Ditto!
Hfisher3380- Ditto again!
Swampwalker- I can't help thinking that you would prefer a watered down version uh Wil'Turkey. Why settle for a watered down Music Selection of Computer Audio Downloading? You would be really upset if they watered down your drink, because "No one is really interested in the quality of anything anymore". It is lame to apply that kind of standard to anything we purchase, including Music.
No hidden agendas here folks. Just a guy who sees a lot less Music Selection/ Archive available for purchase. This is the price your Format imposes with "Soon all New Music will only be available as Music Downloads". That can only mean no LPs, and no CDs. You are trying to argue out of both sides of your mouth around that stated goal. I clearly see the contradiction, and my Music is suffering because of it. Ten Thousand Music Releases "No Longer in Print in CD", and "Not Available as Music Downloads". This is not imaginary either, and easily confirmable with Manufacturers of CDs. Even Wil'Turkey cain't cure that, watered down or not! I am talking to the right people, because this is the standard you set/ accept for Computer Audio Downloads. My argument is that I set a higher bar for my Music Formats. Your lower bar is just unacceptable for my needs. Why must I lower the bar in Music Archive/Availability/Selection to meet your "Convenience" Standard? Computer Audio can, and should be made to produce a better Service in Audio Format Downloading BEFORE Selection is eliminated in all other Formats. I am certainly worth it- and I believe everyone else here is worth it too! No one should have to go without their Music, and there is something seriously wrong if any New Audio Format requires it by prematurely eliminating selection in the previous Audio Format. It sounds a little bit like extortion holding Music Archive as hostage, and thereby forcing everyone to accept the New seriously limited Selection of a New Audio Format as the only option left available on the Market. That is if you are really serious about "Soon All New Music will only be available as Music Downloads". If that is a joke I am not laughing!

PettyOfficer, it was your well being I was concerned about. You're much too worked up over this. The map in your head isn't corresponding to the actual territory you live in, hence, this thread.

All the best,

Nonoise- Yet I can count, and CD Manufacturers can confirm-
and verify the same numbers. It is not about mapping, but simple addition- and subtraction. Math remains the same in any territory. It is that simple. Why do you try to make it so difficult??? "soon All New Music will only be available as Music Downloads" means subtracting Audio Formats. It means subtracting Music Selection, and subtracting Music Archive. Downloading Format is adding way less than what is being subtracted, which leaves a negative left over. Historically other Format switchovers have left an overlap
during switchover, which leaves a positive left over. This
positive leftover comes at a cost to the Manufacturer. A negative left over is only there to boost the profits of
Manufacturers at your expense ( Music Selection ). Nonoise-
I know that you are smarter than this. Do you really need someone to draw you a Map to understand the simple mathematical concept of addition, and subtraction? I began this Thread, stopped using it many times, and got dragged back in again. "Should the Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved" is my premise. It is also my premise that the increase in Music Selection in any Audio Format CAN ( Not Always ) improve the Selection in High Fidelity Audio Releases. First would be to improve the Selection available, then improve the Sound Quality. This was done with LP, and CD only after a large selection of either was available. Now you want to change all of the Audio Market rules for convenience, and up Manufacturer Profit at everyone's expense. It is not unreasonable for me to access what that expense might be in having limited availability to my Music. I am not worked up about it, I am very concerned about it. I become extremely concerned due to the complete lack of concern about this problem. Due to this, it can only become a self-defeating Prophecy based on attitude ( YES- attitude DOES count! ). I care when someone has to go without their Music. I care when someone is being forced to jump through hoops to gain access to their Music. I care especially when, and because, no one else will! I don't care about the 5 year old that can Download blindfolded, I care about the 50 year old that doesn't have the time to learn a new complicated multi-tasking Audio Format. He only has so much longer to live- cut him some slack before you cut his old Format, and maybe his only access to Music. Of course go ahead and throw Grandpa off of the bridge if you want, just don't make excuses for it-
or call it convenience.
