The father of the iPod music in a heareth toccata
I could not resist wear this. Neil Young, as usual, genius and figure:
"The CD was a disaster but it all got worse with MP3. It's a tragedy that people listen to music on computers or in those aparatitos. They do not give real sound, are like those plastic toys sold in supermarkets. We left that computer companies define what is a good sound and have demonstrated that they have no idea of high fidelity. They make very nice machines but they sound like shit. You know something? Was at the home of Steve Jobs, Apple chief. And in his living room had elepés and a turntable "
(Neil Young to Diego A. Manrique, in El Pais)
Copypasteado blog I would like.
What do you think yourselves?. Posts to drag along the ground until eggs make a furrow (vaguear like a dog, come on), also copypasteo the comment that I left myself in the original post:
"I do not share all their views Radikal: IT has done a great service to music and its dissemination, and this can not argue with anyone.
Today it's so usual to have to spend an hour or more public transport route from work or college, have a handy portable device capable of carrying your favorite music behind him is something that is priceless. Regarding the sound quality can not say because I am not the right person for this, but I bet that only the most gourmets dare to criticize the quality of music from an MP3 player or a computer that is attached to good Speakers and playing audio files of quality. For two decades, the music went hand in hand cassette tapes, the quality generally very questionable, and no one complained much.
Technological progress is not an error, if not their misuse. The latter can lead to real nonsense because err humanum est after all, but from there to tick the electronics and the progress it has made possible as a cancer ... "
For my part I have in the living room of my house a multipurpose computer (made of TV, Internet Cafe, the music channel and an entertainment center videojueguil) and just a simple Creative Audigy coupled with some decent speakers so that what comes out of there ring scary. To me it seems to me at least, that is what is important ;-).

I always try to use me as each format agreed upon. So, if I'm at home and the record that I want to hear what I have to wear the LP after LP. What is clear is that the LP can not compete on the iPod on the issue of portability, so I got an iPod for when I move. If I can put before a cd that plug the iPod after you get. I think the problem is to focus on the theme of the formats as if they were mutually incompatible. I think that, far from being incompatible, are complementary and we all make life easier to play the music that we like at any place or situation.
A greeting!
But I also intensively use the ipod, maybe that has less capacity vinyl or CD, but met with my demands, to me is that I always liked the lo-fi:)
It is not the first statement to this effect that makes Neil Young, has always known his weakness for analog sound fussy and what it has always been to the CD and digital formats.
In my room if you gave me a perfectly soundproofed and equipped with a stereo Hi-Fi with all its components and connections of the highest quality, plus a full shelf with all the soil that vinyls listen to digital formats ... surely hear the ... Most of the music on LP.
Meanwhile I will continue so happy with my computer, my mp3, my helmet and occasionally the speakers with subwoofer:)))
Clearly, my musical history'm not trusted for anything: I started listening to the radio on medium wave, then cassette tapes that are hooked every 2 × 3 and had to be repaired with zeal, so when I got my first computer from the music click, click and crack, crack large and growing number ... finally, that leave me as I am.
