The funny thing about the whole music server situation is that many of the writers and editors for these publications use these music streaming devices in their own systems and on occasion they even write about them in the magazines. For example Stereophile has written quite a bit about the Transporter and the Squeezebox but most of their coverage is still about CD players or even worse SACD players. Sure SACD is very nice format but there are very, very few new SACDs being released.
I don't even mind the coverage given to vinyl playback since I don't really music streaming as replacing the LP because the LP is an analog format but I do see music streaming as the main means of listening to digital music in the future. And if one looks at how many college age and younger people listen to music I would say that for that generation the CD is already a dead format. Sadly these magazines often bemoan the lack of young people interested in high end audio but with the so much over priced equipment and such a backward looking attitude what do they expect. -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75908 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
