Most of the "hardcore" audiophiles I know subscribe to either Spotify, MOG, or both. Not so much for the music quality or lack thereof, but to get a preview of the music they want to buy. If you like something on Spotify at 320kbs, you are almost certain to like it just as well on a CD at 16/44.1 for $10/$12. And if you are going to fork out $17-$30 bucks for a highres version of something, then you really want to know you are going to like the music first. Spotify or MOG at 320kbs does not sound bad at all. Especially when $10 lets me preview or listen to dozens of albums, and target my music buying dollars to much better effect. :) -- paul.raulerson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ paul.raulerson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=50346 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91090 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
