I THINK IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU LISTEN TO.

I don't listen to [ducks behind the crenellations] pop music. I think that it is essentially commercial ephemera, repeated ad nauseum on commercial radio and BBCR1. If you can call it music. But I have 100s of classical and jazz CDs, with sleeve notes, libretti, etc; some of historic performances. Which do get played. AFAIK, this sort of music is not available as steaming stuff; and why should I waste time tying myself to a computer to buy, download and store and then replay the music at the dubious quality of computer audio?

Nor am I interested in head/earphones- decent amp/speakers/comfortable chair please!

But each to his own.

Cheers
John
