...me to have favorites. It completely removes the spontaneity of choice off the shelf. I'm forced to create a sub-domain of digital files. I'll say two things at this point:
(1) First, I do have an MP3 player that I use for the gym. Just Rock music, since I can't handle the radio fare they play. It's fine, but it's not audiophile (nor should it be).
(2) Now that I've taken a beating here (:-) about being some kind of Luddite just because I'd like to find a high-quality new device for playing music off my library shelf, I've checked out FLAC players (thanks to welly for the Cowon iaudio recommendation...looks very nice).
Clearly, FLAC is a good looking option for BULIDING an inventory of high-quality audio files. It is the building that I was hoping to avoid. Sorry, dudes, it remains a mindless activity, especially when I've already got the music in a format I am happy with.
That said, since what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, thanks to friend and foe for the FLAC Attack -- it gives me something to think about.
