I was a wee lad in the 80's. Yes, my bias against vinyl was intuitively practical in nature (small hands, large record), but my preference for CD was 100% emotional, as I had absolutely no technical concept of audio -- save for a "laser" that would reflect off a "pattern" on the pretty shiny CD.

My final sin against sanity, putting heart over mind, was ripping my all-time favourite CD at 48KHz/320CBR. After that I wizened up.

Yes, there is tacky artwork out there, but that applies to CD's as well.


All the more reason to make this art as small and unobtrusive as possible. wink.gif
