Hard to move...
Authored by: DavidRavenMoon on Feb 26, '02 09:25:28PM

OK... I listen to MP3s on my G4, and I have really nice speakers (Monsoon MM-702s) just so I dont have to go into the living room to get my favorite CDs... but when I'm in my living room where my stereo is, I listen to the real CDs! Why would you want to listen to MP3s of CDs you already have, presumably where your stereo is? The real CDs sound much better!

This is neat in a geeky kind of way, but doesn't make much sense to me.

Convenience...
Authored by: robg on Feb 26, '02 11:43:04PM

We're not necessarily audiophiles here, and the MP3's (ripped at 192khz) all sound fine to my very untrained ear. The major benefit to this system is having every song that I've ever bought available at the touch of three or four buttons. That beats getting up, digging through the stack of CD's for a few minutes, not finding what I was looking for, and then finally remembering the CD I wanted is at work!

Now our music is always available, regardless of the location of the master CD. And we never have to change the disc in the CD player again! It's also nice for background music at parties; pick a genre and go. No futzing about with stacks of discs, just hours (or days, if you throw good parties!) of music.

This high level of convenience makes up for a slight loss in sound quality for us -- others may have different conclusions!
