Lol, i've tried explaining this to soooo many people. (But to be fair, there are other reasons to listen to vinyl other than just 'quality'.)
- rquantz 14y agoLike, "I bought all these records in the 60s, why should I have to go out and buy them all again as CDs?"
- WalterBright 14y agoA large percentage of the records made in the 50s and 60s are not available on CDs.
- jarek 14y agoA large percentage of the records listened to on vinyl today are not from the 50s or 60s.
- justinhj 14y agoExactly, it seems presumptuous to assume Jobs thought vinyl was better quality.
- cbsmith 14y agoActually... ridiculously presumptuous. ...and of course regardless of relative quality, CD and other digital formats seems to have encouraged producers to move towards some really bad production habits. The end result might be that while the media can reproduce better sound quality, the quality of the sound on a CD might be worse.
- fyi80 14y agoPeople listen to vinyl for its quality, not it's quantity on some technical metric.
