Popular Post firedog Posted June 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2021 Here's a quote from a column this week by the NYT "Tech" columnist, in a column titled, "Tech Forgets About the Needs of the 99%" Quote Amazon and Apple got into a spat a few weeks ago over “lossless” audio files. I didn’t know what they were, either. They’re high-quality digital songs that most people can’t distinguish from regular versions. I think we need to look at this and not dismiss it. This is what the world (including a pretty savvy "tech" columnist) thinks about stuff we see as central. Some perspective...... Note how lossless is now "regular versions". And not the other way around.
