Isn't that the whole point of iPhone and iPods?

iPods? Where the fuck did you get that idea?

Just how does an iPod create more consumer expense?

Given the audio quality of downloaded music, CDs, for about the same
price (If you buy music, like I do) is a far better value. Besides the
superior sound quality, you own the CD and can play it anywhere you wish.

Unfortunately, where many of us lived for audio quality, many today
really can't tell the difference because they don't know that there is
one.

Ipods are wonderful. Just copy the files to them with any file manager and
it plays them, no matter whether they are MP3, OGG, WAV, MP2, MP1, RM, AVI,
DivX 1/2/3/4/5/6, BIN, files copied off a DVD.....any format, any where,
any size.

You don't need any kind of special software to copy playable files to an
Apple product. It's wonderful and so cheap!

It will also run programs written in any MS-DOS, Linux, CP/M, any machine
code from 4-bit to 64-bit from any manufacturer, OS
1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/X/Y/Z, Fortran, COBOL, Pearl or any mainframe OS from
1976 on!

Bullshit....

How can a 1-bit CD sampled at only 44.1Kbps have "sound quality"? That's
just not true of CDs...ANY CDs. All music produced and sold is now
corrupt. Of course, most of the shit played on an iPod by adoring fans,
any distortion only ADDS to the "musical experience" of being in a back
alley with a bunch of animals screaming obscenities at each other in
between gang fights, right?

For that...CDs are a blessing!

You boys are in for a terrible shock! Go find an audiologist and have
him/her do a proper scan of YOUR audio bandwidth! The average human looks
like:
http://www.audioholics.com/education...human-hearing-
amplitude-sensitivity-part-1
Check out all the parts this is part 1 of.

Human hearing really SUCKS. Notice the db scale....not 1 or 2 db....50-60-
70 db!

"Losing" it? Larry the tinfoil hatted nutcase ALREADY lost it. Long
ago.

Or maybe never had it.

Hey, I still have all my albums, and an expensive cartridge with a good
turntable.
Without arguing the fine points, CD is still better than download.
