We Want Better Music!
Digg this if you want higher quality audio!
I thought about this once when they released the 80gb iPod, and now I feel the need to write about it since the release of the 160gb iPod. From what I hear, most people think that it is a ton of space and no one uses it unless they have movies like nobodies business. Right now, unfortunately that is true. Unless you have your torrent clients running day and night downloading movies, or you’re a true audiophile and have heard of “better quality music,” then you would never fill that space. Let me shed some insight:
Right now there is a war going on between Bluray Disc and the HD-DVD. Every few years, we upgrade our media and redo everything. The same thing is happening right now with audio. There is a war going on between the Super-Audio CD (SACD), and the DVD-Audio. People do not know about this because everybody listens to mpeg-3, which is really too bad. Mp3 format is even lower quality than WAV, which is what is on a regular CD. Ipods are nice because they allow you to play most any file you want, including WAV, but with that it takes a memory toll. With 160gb, this is completely fine. One problem, iTunes only sells .mp3 (quality) which was outdated 5 years ago. Everybody only sells .mp3.
I almost wish that the iPod touch didn’t come out at the same time the 160gb did. I think one of the reasons Apple has not decided to upgrade their music is because their main product only has 16gb memory now. Does anyone else think 120kbps is a little obnoxious?
