Maybe it's an age thing, but I can't see any reason for physical stores
for music since Amazon took off. I haven't bought a book or CD from a
physical store in probably a decade now. And downloads trump even that
because not only are they convenient, they are near-instant gratification.
Now if only full 44.1/16-bit downloads would go down to 99 cents or less
per song and be commonplace, we'd finally be at a reasonable "new
paradigm." As it is now, the only places not selling lossy-compressed
audio downloads are places like HDTracks (Chesky) and Linn, and they
charge a big premium for them compared to lossy album prices.
Well...IF I can get my old "record player" up and running...and IF (as I
suspect)
the ceramic cartridge output will work well when plugged into the "Line In"
jack
of my computer's sound card...I will be able to make available around
100,000+
digital versions of my 78 holdings! No charge, but donations will be gladly
accepted...?!
There MUST be listeners waiting anxiously to hear all my Grey Gull B-sides?!
