There's always a couple things going on here. I don't think CDs would sound any better than any file format as long as they are the same. Obviously, MP3s are worse than cds, but downloading WAV or Flaac+ stuff CDS wouldn't be any worse than CDs

As for newer music I always think it's produced/mixed differently to sound "better" on shitty earbuds and small music players/speakers.

EDIT: I just got a CD in the mail a few days ago

Yeah that's one of the reasons I try to buy things from Bandcamp now. I used to do Amazon but always refuse Apple.

That was the issue with lots of us. Ripped everything to shitty mp3 when HDD space wasn't as cheap and then had to go back and re rip at higher quality

Not always offered in FLAC sadly but yes Bandcamp always

You need to convert them into ALAC files cause Apple blows.

As much as it pains me to say it LDs doesn't rule anymore. I still have my Criterion 2001 box set though...damn that was sweet.

it's a big deal to them Illionisers (sp?)

Yeah they finally caught up pretty well, forever we always had the one of 2 that wasn't available.

I just always thought "vinyl sounded better" because those people are on the drugs

Like anything you're not a connoisseur of; be graftefull. I've had $100 steaks and they taste the same as an Outback, which is fine by me.
