Oh, for goodness sake, Sony, would you please just master CDs decently? I know, that would mean that you release your intellectual property to the world in uncompressed¹ quality, in a world where people frivolously commit abominable criminal acts such as copying and sharing their media. But pretty please? I don't want to resort to an archaic medium with 10 bit effective dynamic range if I can have 16 bit on a CD. I don't want your petty streaming services. I don't want to download music amateurishly encoded in a lossy format (almost) older than me.² I know. I'm probably the weirdest of all, longing for this sterile, lossless sound of digital awesomeness. But can I please, for once in ages, buy a CD that has been decently mastered, that I can copy onto my computer and listen to with my headphones and enjoy? I think I'm now going to put on “Dark Side of the Moon” from 1973 and cry myself to sleep, weeping, because something so old can sound so good, whereas decades of modern music, decades of culture and art have been sacrificed to the capitalist gods of the loudness war. ¹ Both in the dynamic range and audio codec sense. ² MPEG-1 Audio Layer III.
