Re: Music subscriptions Not THE future, but another viable alternative for music fans. To be honest there should be room for all of this. CDs, MP3s, LP records, subscriptions... they are all valid mediums. Now that we have done away with 8-track and cassette tapes (mediums with fast degradation) we are free to pursue all these possibilities.
CD - A lossless hard copy that can't be accidentally erased. Best audio quality (more so if you count 24bit audio and DVD audio).
Vinyl LP - A true analog medium. Many people prefer the dynamic range and frequency response of records, calling it a "warmer" sound than digital recordings.
MP3 - Compressed audio that still has a lot of the same quality. Compact data size that's great for portable music enjoyment and can be moved with ease.
Subscription - Take a taste of all sorts of music all the time. Problem is with many current services you don't own the music. Once your subscription is up the music is gone. |
