Drawgoon 100 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Hope they do something about the loudness wars too. I can hardly imagine much benefit from a 24bit/192KHz brick-walled "music" that's abused with equalizers and compressors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1977 1,743 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I wonder how long it will be before the iTunes store is no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most physical collectors in my experience keep their media for years, if not their entire lives. The masses on the other hand, such as those currently streaming, have to buy the fancy new iPhone every 6-12 months. I wonder how much those are taking up landfills. 🤔 Holko and Jurassic Shark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you using a Sony Discman? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Physical media is one of the least problems, when it comes to waste. By the way, streaming is not just entirely clean in case you'd think that.

You know what CD's and cassettes are made from? Petroleum and unrefined crude. I mean, sure, I can see why Jurassic Shark would be in favour of them, he's from Norway and has a vested interest in polluting the planet. But the rest of us should happily be streaming on our iPhones and Android! As for me, I digitized my entire CD collection in lossless. And rather than throw them away, or sell them or even donate them to a library when they'd all eventually end up in a landfill, I did the responsible thing and burned them, sending them to music heaven in the upper atmosphere where they belong.

I'm not Drax and I was joking. Now I don't really what pollutes the most between a physical CD made from "Petroleum and unrefined crude" or computer and data center that burn entire forests to be powered up?

I have the discs but have no plans on getting rid of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
