Compact Discs - R.I.P.

I have to agree on all the points that have been brought up on this particular subject. Thankyou for this information. Upvc door

<cite>For some of us this is stating the obvious, for others this may be a painful prediction.</cite><br />

<br />

Well, it is my idea that it is not obvious at all (apart from the download part, which is a fact already, legal or not - hence CD R.I.P. would be(come) true), and I don't think there will be much pain involved at hopping over to media which only brings us conveniency.<br />

<br />

The IMHO mistake in the article (which btw, to me reads like from 3 years ago) is that we would be needing "hires" in order to enjoy the best of music. Why ? well, because at this moment I don't think anybody is up to exploiting the level red book can achieve. But hop over, and for once and for all you will know differently.<br />

<br />

I said this before a couple of times, and the more time proceeds (as will the quality of music reproduction overhere) the more it will become true.<br />

<br />

The resolution is sufficiently high, but needs better approaches than done so far. This is not theory, but done already.<br />

PS: I have some 500 hires albums by now, and they actually excel in nothing compared to red book. Don't confuse this with with companies like RR, 2L (etc. !) which excel in *recording* and produce that in hires at the same time. RRs stuff in red book sounds as good ... (edit : not meaning that 2L's would not, I just don't own low-res 2L recordings).<br />

<br />

PPS: And also don't get mixed up in hires sounding better in your system; this is a kind of logic if you know what it takes to make red book as good.<br />

Moral : never think those millions of recordings are wasted. They are not. It is "us" at the technology farm who at last must proceed !

The article *is* from 2007, as is Chris's post I see now.<br />

Allright, nobody will understand this I guess, but the thread was triggered by a spammer today (that post nicely removed now), and it all looked new to me (apart from the article contents). Including the 2010 date above the article (while 2007 is at the bottom).<br />

<br />

Well, nice talking to you.<br />

Grr. :-)<br />

Excellent Peter <br />

<br />

Nice to read from you. Where have you been lately ?<br />

<br />

Anyway, I tend to agree with you.<br />

Redbook is far from being crappy, and can sound very good.<br />

Thank you Elp.<br />

<cite>Where have you been lately ?</cite><br />

<br />

Haha, working on these matters !<br />

You could say that having three jobs allows for three times hanging out on forums during work times, but I guess it doesn't work like that. :-)<br />
