Actual audiophiles are going to moan about lossless, because its still PCM audio at its core, and not analog.

Actual audiophiles are going to moan about lossless, because its still PCM audio at its core, and not analog.
- coldtea 8y agoThe source material is not analog either ever since 1995 or so -- 99% of recordings are into digital DAWs, not tape.
- fenwick67 8y agoOne of the funniest things to me in the prosumer audio world is NES sountracks or EDM released on vinyl.
- Mediterraneo10 8y agoMany if not most of the consumers of that music will never actually listen to the vinyl. They might not even own a turntable. Instead, they purchase the vinyl for music that they listen to elsewhere in order to have full-size artwork and use it as room decoration.
- monocasa 8y agoAnd until recently (and painting with a very wide stroke), the percentage that goes back to the band tended to be better for vinyl than the other formats. Since the record companies saw it as a dead medium, it wasn't really high on their list for negotiations. I've bought vinyl that I never intended to play for that reason.
- empath75 8y agoWell edm was/is released on vinyl for djing purposes although these days most club djs use cds or usb or ableton.
