apart from distribution though? Dont get me wrong; You guys do a
fantastic job but its way too much hassle for me. All I want is my
media in file format and playable from a media player. Mine is a
PopcornHour C-200 but dont let the name belittle it. It plays my
multichannel media fine, and lets me have ALL my collection in one
browsable location. No more searching for discs etc. And if Linn are
also in the market for networked, streaming music, that tells me its
the future whether via cheapish kit ($400) or esoteric high end
suppliers..
So for me, DVD-A into the drive (or download an iso and mount it via
virtual clone), plop it into foobar, convert mlp to multichannel
flac.... 10 minutes later I've an LP in 24 bit, 96KHz, flac on the
network. I see Apple are releasing more hi res music, and I do hope
it catches on and leads the industry to do more file based
distribution, at a decent price. I'm no itunes user though, but might
have to become one unless the rest of the players see the potential
(and the risk to their own business if they dont follow suit). I
don't even mind some DRM policies limiting it to my use.. so long as
I can get it in the first place.
Everyone: Keep up the good work meantime but lets keep our options
open and start dispesing with optical media as much as we can. At
least I can grab some of the conversions and get access to the music
somehow.
ps My real optical use now is only Blu-Ray movies, some DVD films,
and SACD (one day we might get them decrytped properly and they can
get filed too). Convert CDs to 320k mp3 for the kids zens/ipods, and
use the files on 2Gig SD cards in both cars. Stick the CDs in the
cupboard for backup, and similarly with commonly used DVD films for
the kids. DVD-A never playback, CDs are only used by the wife, in the
kitchen. My vision is for file based music, Hi and Lo resolution, on
the network for everyone in the house.
