So, I will be the last one to receive the update?

I understand. Unfortunately, I'm on the other side. Even if I have a certain song on my hard drive, I'll still play it from Qobuz, if it's there, of course. At the very least, so I can listen to the recommendations after the album. I don't have a CD player; I've given away all my CDs.

I didn't think it was offensive, sorry. I'm a bit of an aesthete myself. I waited six months for my speakers because I wanted walnut, not black. In this case, context is important again. This was an answer to the question of why vinyl sales are growing. Growing, and not stagnating, for example...

Which one? I apologize in advance if I unintentionally offended anyone.

Oh. Yes, I know and understand. Why are you telling me all this? Initially, colleague expressed regret that most people prefer to "rent" music rather than buy it. I explained why. You took a phrase out of context and are telling me why SOME people buy it. Do you understand the difference? Why...

Wait, wait. Where are you going? This isn't what we're talking about. And it wasn't even about that to begin with. I don't ignore it, I accept it as it is.

Of course, I can recognize some particularly over-compressed examples from the loudness wars. But overall, it's quite acceptable, meaning I don't see any need to search for and buy a CD with less DR. I don't find it that important. Listening to music right now is more important. My equipment is...

Come on, what's there to understand? It's not rocket science. In most cases, you can simply ignore it, except for the most egregious cases, which is what most people do. However, you can continue to consider yourself a bearer of secret knowledge.

Oh no, this forum is quite enough.

:) Are you referring to the clever-clogs ones responsible for the vinyl boom?

They probably do. But not so much that they'd bother chasing CDs. Having an entire music library instantly accessible is preferable. What do these numbers even mean? Is music from DR9 unlistenable? Do you not understand the lyrics or the musical ideas? Advertising and the vinyl trending. The...

Qobuz.

Only four remixes, and one has the original version. What's the point of listening to the original versions? The musical material remains the same, and which mastering you listen to is a matter of taste. I prefer to simply listen to music in accessible quality than to hunt down CDs and then wait...

Not often, but rarely. On average, it's acceptable.

Incorrect. We're not renting, but buying a subscription to a huge music library. Why buy music? Those days are gone.
