Why would anyone spend good money on speakers and a great stereo system and listen to crappy torrents or have a surround system and a great tv and you watch poor quality stuff pirated of the internet. What a waste of money on quality stereo stuff, when you spend good money on a sound system you want to hear the album the way it was meant to be heard, recorded in good quality or you have a nice tv and surround sound, you want to watch a film in real hd and listen to it in good surround sound.

These torrents , even the good ones, are just so degraded from the original. I dont even trust the sound quality from alot of legitimate digital sites, at least with cds the audio is uncompressed. Alot of the legitimate digital stores use the AAC (Advanced Audio Codec) format encoded at 128kbps -every second of music is represented by 128 kilobits of data. On a CD, every second takes up 175 kilobytes - 11 times more. Look at these torrent sites and actually try and listen to this crap at high volume. Horrible. This is a good article about sonic quality and Neil Young talking with Steve Jobs about how so much of downloadable music is a sacrifice in sound quality.

They are talking about the sound quality and codecs from legitimate pay site, not this torrent garbage.

Listening to this crap is like listening to music on youtube, it reminds me of when a friend brought over a cassette and wanted me to play it through my klipsch speakers. People download stuff I guess when you are young and poor but its a really miserable way to listen to music. Sonics!

Funny quote from Neil Young about Steve."As Young pointed out, Steve Jobs may have been a digital music pioneer, but "when he went home, he listened to vinyl."

its coming straight from my iTunes...which was pure quality to begin with, to whosoever I email to, downloadef with the SAME quality, there is NO degradation pal.

[showtiime]

The majority of that post was centered around the degredation on iTunes, something Jobs seems to acknowledge.

Unless you're an audiophile, it is really hard to tell the difference. All depends on what you are using to listen to it.

These are some good articles chalky on digital audio. Like you said, Young is talking about the legitimate digital sites and digital quality in general, when it comes to torrents I would really like to see what rates even the high quality torrents are coming in at. There is a huge difference to me between Digital and Analog on stuff like itunes but most torrents sound like utter crap to me.

I just downloaded David Gilmour Live in Gdansk from piratebay (torrent site) and am currently listening to it through my tablet which is pushing some Bowers & Wilkins p5's and it sounds wonderful.

I am partial to this specific album though, as I do own it and think it is by far one of the better live recordings made - but it sounds loads better than anything on youtube.

[gregm]

Good taste chalky. I am going to check out that David Gilmour show tomorrow. I am a huge Gilmour fan. The one thing I like about that article is that Young doesnt come out against pirating, he says its a good way to find out about obscure albums and tunes, live shows,etc. and in the end you buy the album or cd because you want to hear it the way it was meant to be heard. Hell , I love youtube, its turned me on to so much great stuff I could never have found rummaging through a record store. Most youtube stuff is still crap though, listen to the two versions of this great tune.
