HIGH FIDELITY

posted by James Reel

    Well, glory be! Somebody in a fairly mainstream publication (Slate) has spoken out against the cruddy sound of mp3 files. As Fred Kaplan makes clear, convenience does not trump quality. Unplug your earbuds, pay attention to the world outside your head for a while, then go home and sit down in front the best audio equipment you can afford and try actually listening to the music. Please.
