    - Yep. I remember that research. Tinny mp3s sounded best to young people. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 6, 13:07 1
      - If it's something I've listened to on vinyl, the mp3s are severely lacking. - the liioulu with Aug 6, 13:15

    - i haven't bought a cd in *years*. - Andie Aug 6, 13:09
    - it's a dead format walking. -- nm - Reagen Aug 6, 13:07 2
      - aka "not dead". -- nm - TFox Aug 6, 13:10 1
