Now they are editing books, will they be editing songs next? Easy to do if everything is a subscription. I have a large mp3 library and refuse to pay to stream.

Radio/studios have been editing songs for years

I never heard the proper version of Dire Straits - money for nothing (m.youtube.com) till someone posted the lyrics here.

You are correct one to think of it. Is that when they sing about the little faggot? I always remembered that version.

That's the one. Apparently written about dude from motley Crue :-D

...the little faggot, he's a millionaire... One of the most under rated bands.

This is nothing new. History is written by the victor. This isn't the first reset of civilization. There's a reason they have a term for it(the great reset). History has been rewritten over and over to the point history books are mostly myths. As with all myths, they are based on a grain of truth. He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past. By utilizing this simple truth, you can control the parameters of thought. Thus, confining the human mind. In this way you control thought. Control thought, control the population. They have always destroyed and rewritten history since Babylon. Think of how many libraries were destroyed. AI and everything being digital simply means they can more quickly make these alterations as they see fit. AI being able to duplicate someone's voice will make even video and recordings able to be changed. Scary stuff, but nothing new.

This same article comes out every year for the past few years.

Just like the vinyl they buy?

Yep. But it's the "for the first time since 1987" that makes it false. It can't be the first time 3-4 years in a row.

It's a headline. I don't know what you expected.

I've been building my current collection. My wife was on the fence with it until I played 'Ride the Lightning' on vinyl for her. Sound quality isn't the same on CD or digital even with powerful compression.

The Wall on CD/digital isn't the same either - there's something lacking in having to flip sides and records for the whole experience.

Operating the record player is half the fun.

I wish I had an actual stereo to play my vinyls on. It's on the list, but lower priority.

The vinyls sound good, don't get me wrong, but played through a JBL Bluetooth speaker it sounds like a CD.

Unless your vinyl was pressed more than 20 years ago it's extremely likely that the sound quality is far less than CD since they press the vinyl from 16-bit 44 kHz digital recordings - the same ones used to press CDs. So you get all the digital limitations with bonus dust pops.

The irony is all the idiots buying vinyl today because they think it sounds better when it's pressed from CD recordings.

That's why I only ever go to concerts and tap my equipment straight into their lines so I can mix the tracks on all analog equipment so that I can then use the vibrations from that to properly move the needle on my hard drive to write only the best sound as God intended it to be heard.

It's not that hard, folks.

My 23 year old son goes out of his way to buy vinyl of his favorite bands. I was surprised to find they still make records.

You can buy them at Walmart.

I don't go to Walmart, or as I call it...hell. I'd rather spend more elsewhere

I get buying vinyl, who still buys cds though?

[–] • 0 pt

CDs might be best for music that was already made digitally. Vinyl is best for music that was originally recorded to magnetic tape as analog.

I would have never guessed this would happen. Too bad for me, I got rid of my vinyl 30 years ago.

[–] • 0 pt

Why'd you get rid of it?

[–] • 1 pt

I recorded them to hi quality cassettes in the 1980s because I spent more time listening to music in my commute and while driving in general than while I was home. Then ... onto CDs ... etc.

Well it's not gone, it's just lost under a 7ft mountain of pizza boxes and piss jugs.
