Quite impressive and I'd say Bluray-Audio discs (and the uncompressed digital downloadable equivalent) are on-par with vinyl at this point. Some people think 320kbps MP3 audio is "pretty okay" though, but I find those people tone-deaf, and usually think current pop music is "really good" and haven't listened to side 1 of the 1978 album, Hemispheres which is the only song, "Cygnus X-1: Book II" by Rush. Luckily, XM Radio is brave enough to play something like that. You don't hear FM's demiser "Clear Channel Radio" attempting anything so impressive, instead playing Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" or Pandora's weak offering of "Communication Breakdown" as an edgy, prog-rock suggestion. If Pandora played all of "Tarkus", then we'll talk, Pandora, until then..

Hold on, let me ask Wikipedia...<br /><br />Also, I only buy digital albums, but I buy exactly that - albums. If I only like 1 song I won't add it to my library. I want to hear a whole album, cover to cover (including the album art), not just 1 song that's being played to death on the radio.A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6852116452051562544.post-46373531365567927802013-05-27T01:41:45.955-06:002013-05-27T01:41:45.955-06:00Hi, nice to meet you.
