the mp3 versions are lying around on everyone's computer already!

That's not the point of the discussion.

My point is, for those of us who are actually audiophiles that know and appreciate uncompressed, raw music, a CD is better than an MP3 anyday. I know the MP3's are layin' around like crazy, I helped to get them out there, recording in an analogue fashion from my own turntables input to my audio card :rolleyes But I would still not mind an actual MASTERED CD to be released in it's uncompressed glory without having to deal with the pops and clicks from the vinyl versions :eviltongu :eviltongu :eviltongu

I am waiting for the DVD-audio to become the new standard.

you are from a release group! oh respect!

i dont get it though...real audiophiles prefer vinyls to cds!! why would you wait for a cd when there is a vinyl? i know you have partially answered the question already but...t is just unusual for an audiophile to wait for a cd

Real audiophiles prefer the best quality possible, whether it be vinyl OR CD, period. There's far to much to get into here about the different formats, but a remastered M E.P. on CD would own. I mentioned in my earlier post that the pops and clips would be eradicated for sure. As I recorded directly from my first copy of the M E.P. which had been played in a club (unknown how many times) I noticed skips in the Airwave mix of UNITE! and annoying smaller skips in other tracks. "Download the MP3's that are widely available" you say? Back to my original point: compressed audio :irked And again, I mentioned for convenience. I would rather a record co put together a CD than me havin' to waste hours mastering a CD on my own with no guarantee guarentee I would be completely satisfied with the end result. When was the last time you were at a friends house or drivin' your car and put a vinyl on the mobile turntable? Chances are never.

Ayu needs to be known world wide!!

my point is, vinyl has better sound quality compared to cds. even to 'remastered' cds. so when you have a vinyl you dont need the cd

vinyl is so fragile,even when compared to discs

agrees! :yes

oh sweet!!! I LOVE AVB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i hope he makes a new mix :)
