Another nice post. Archimago you are spoiling us with the consistently high quality of your blog posts. The writing and the objectivity of these posts lays bare the clownish nature of of the garbage that gets that published in the "official" high end audio publications. Please keep up the good, no great, work. This post got me to thinking about an area where digital audio continues to fall way short of it's vast potential. I'm referring to the lack of hyper-linking within a digital audio music library. For example by this I mean the ability to be listening to Miles Davis' classic "Kind of Blue" while looking at the "now playing" display on either a computer, tablet or smart phone and having the all the information about the recording right in front of you but with full hyperlinks to various aspects of the recording. There would hyperlinks on the all the songs, composers, musicians and recording data (engineer, studio, date, etc.) and clicking on any hyperlink would bring up information about that item, both in general and in one's own music library. Click on "Bill Evans" (the piano player on "Kind of Blue") and one could see a full biography and discography of Mr. Evans plus a list of all the recordings in one's music library that Evans appears on. To me this is the kind of connectivity and information that computer based audio should be striving for and once this kind hyper-linking is properly and fully developed and implemented the power of computer based digital audio would be well beyond reproach. By the way the excellent program "Muso" (http://klarita.net/muso.html), which is an LMS front end player and music library information center for use on Windows computers, has a few of the features I outlined above and is moving in the right direction. In addition I believe that the Sooloos/Meridian music server system also has some of these features.
