I remember paying twice as much for those high fidelity albums.
One of my favorites had thunderstorms on one side & locomotives on the other.

From the article::::

"Marenco, a sturdy-looking, woman, ..."

 

Was that meant as a compliment?

A compliment like that would have me doing my own laundry for a month.

Yeah, and I remember that concert tickets were about the same price as a a vinyl album. And that many people had real HiFi systems that could rock the neighbourhood ... and not tiny speakers or earphones hooked up to a phone or laptop that are so common now, where it really doesnt't matter what quality the recording is.

I like how they compare $5 Songs to Starbucks Coffee...
"Starbucks created a model of: Better quality should cost more,"

As a coffee lover, I think Starbucks coffee sux! (I'm a Folgers' man)
I also believe that Starbucks customers are drinking the Kool-aid.
Dumbass white folks with overprice clothes that are still made in sweatshops in India...
Buying "world music" CD's and subscribing to a "Lifestyle" that is created for their consumption.

Yes. I believe that a better format would produce better sound.
And if you can get $5/song... more power to you.
OR! You could buy the Album on vinyl. (or tape)

I'm more interested in the Song itself, the Arrangement, and the Players/Playing than the technology that gets it to me. I can listen through the crackles on 78s (which I have though no dedicated player, have to use the DD turntable), the hiss on LPs, and the thin production of MP3s to hear what I'm looking for.

The only part of Marshal McLuhans writing I understood was the part I disagreed with; the medium is NOT the message.....anymore than the carrier is the signal. (Of course, he sometimes preferred the accidental title misprint: The medium is the massage.....which I have less trouble with. But it's too sober in the day to take up THAT conversation....)

Unless you are addicted to this high quality music everything is free now. Maybe it shouldn't be but it is.

Nothing is free! Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose ...
