Does Portable Music Have to be Compressed?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the what-lossy-eyes-you-have dept.

FunkeyMonk writes "The Christian Science monitor has an article discussing the gap between music fans and audiophiles when it comes to portable music. Would you pay a few cents more to have lossless downloads from iTunes and other online music retailers? As a classical musician myself, I choose not to download most of my music, but rather rip it myself in lossless format."

    We are not going to start debating the content of The Christian Science Monitor here.
    If we don't nip this in the bud, then I fully expect to log on tomorrow to see:
    "Is Vista truly the manifestation of Lucifer separating the masses for the rapture?"
    "Which Linux distibution would Jesus roll with?"
    "Does that papal blessing of his powerbook actually signify the transubstantiation of the Li-Ion cell to the mitochondrials of the holy spirit?"
