The Transporter

The article about this new product addresses many of the MP3 issues that I was complaining about in my previous post.

From the article:
Patrick Cosson, from US manufacturer Slim Devices, said: "Audiophiles are investing a lot of money to rip their files at more than simple 128kbps MP3."

He said many people did not realise what a compromise they were making when ripping CDs into formats such as MP3.

"People have not been trained. MP3s are stuff you listen to at the gym.

"Audiophiles do not see digital music as throwaway music - which is what digital music has become to some people."
