I was talking about many 'out of print' recordings that sadly seem available only in mp3 format. Publishing houses don't seem to think it's worth their while to invest in reissuing many culturally and musically important recordings from the '60s and the '70s, so we're now dependent on the kindness of the community to rescue those obsolete recordings and share them (they usually do that by converting old out-of-print LPs to digital). For some reason, I'm seeing some of those being offered only in mp3 format, but hey, I'll take it. Better lossy than nothing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95771 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
