Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved

Come on- Guys! There ARE 10,000 CD Releases currently out of print. This doesn't even come close to reflecting what you are saying- Nonoise! Again, if I want to try something
new a CD release different from what I currently own ( And it is one of those 10,000 from the past with no release available as download ) I am just screwed? Boo-hoo, just live without my Music right? This is NOT CDs that everyone
already has a copy of. Please, let someone answer that can at least add. The CD Music Selection deficit is 10,000, and
growing. This is verified from those who still sell CDs- the horses mouth. Don't bury your head in the other end of the horse, and pretend otherwise.
LP never died. Many still use LP, and Computer Audio.
Many even burn a copy of their LPs onto a Music File. Apparently many Major Labels ( and Music Artists ) are creating this resurgence in LP. There has to be at least a
hundred Re-issues in 180 Gram- harder material.
My major question still remains: Do you follow "Soon
all New Music will only be available as Music Downloads" to
its ultimate conclusion? That means giving up LPs for
Computer Audio. That means that you cannot have both! Is
everyone willing to do this? I just want to know so that I don't waste money on the wrong Format. If you are going to dictate to me which Format I will be allowed to use, take a little respondsibility to provide some clarity on this issue. I'm just trying to avoid Formats that go bust (ie.
SACD ). Which goes bust here LP resurgence, or Computer Audio. You guys are steering this thing. How about giving the rest of us some direction?

News Alert:

CNN just reported that Thomas Pettyofficer was arrested by a SWAT team after a rescue raid at his home Tuesday night. The video showed him being wheeled out of his house on a gurney in a straight jacket and strapped down with several very thick chains locked with large padlocks. I couldn't make out exactly what he was yelling, because there were too many 'bleeps' in between words, but I clearly heard him say the following words: "operating systems", "death of the format", "they don't care about high resolution audio", "new music only available through downloads" and "give us some direction here".

The reporter on the scene stated that Mr. Pettyofficer had kidnapped Bill Gates and several Apple executives earlier in the day and had been holding the men captive until the SWAT team rescued them 8 hours later. All the hostages said that Pettyofficer was mocking, berating and lecturing them on his perceived deficiencies in their companies' operating systems, especially their lack of attention to high resolution audio capabilities.

After a thorough search of the premises, police discovered several audio engineers from Sony and Phillips locked in the basement. They claimed they were abducted in the 1980's. Pettyofficer alledgedly told them: "You jerks can all go home as soon as you brainiacs make my cd player sound just like my turntable and vinyl, but better and forever." All of these older captives claimed they were also subjected to berating and lecturing by Pettyofficer for supposed design failings constantly during their 30 year captivity.
One of these engineers, ironically, said he had so much time on his hands that he created a new operating system that ideally supports the playing and downloading of high resolution audio formats. He said, since it works on both mac and pc computers, the price may need to be increased to up to $10.

All hostages were released unharmed, with only minor bruises to their egos.

Just thought you guys/gals would want to know about these less than surprising developments.

So what you are really saying is YOU don't have an answer to my question. You could have just said that from the beginning, and saved everyone a whole lot of reading. Repeat after me....I...DON'T...KNOW. If you don't know then you haven't a clue when you say "Soon all New Music will only be available as Music Downloads"- do you??? I am just trying to save myself from throwing away tons of money on a defunct audio Format. You are trying to do.....what??? Shoot your own credibility in the foot?
Nice shooting slick!

It is obvious that those leading us down the path of "Soon
all New Music will only be available as Music Downloads", have no answers/ no direction/ splintered selection/ no research-development support from major Labels or major Computer Manufacturers. Customer support being supplied by other (Just as stupid) unreliable/ unaccountable OTHER CUSTOMERS! This isn't a New Audio Format, it is a TRAIN WRECK! Are you guys struggling to look at the bright side of a Train Wreck? Why are you selling yourself short, why are you selling the rest of us short? I would really enjoy using Computer Audio if this industry actually showed some
small amount of respect for its customers. I see nothing, but disdain from this industry- and disdain from other customers supporting this industry. Why am I NOT surprised?
Computer Audio is not ready, and never will be due to being held back by the industry- and being held back by the egos of its supporting customers. This Audio Format is a JOKE!
The so-called Convenience, another JOKE! I AM NOT LAUGHING!
You want this Audio Format to be taken seriously, how about
treating it seriously. Only then, maybe will it be ready for
"Soon all New Music will only be available as Music Downloads". Otherwise, you will be saying that 20 years from now still waiting for it to happen. Talk about being guillable! ACTUALLY sell me on the idea of Computer Audio,
instead of trying it by Rook or by Crook. I am not impressed, and not so easily fooled either. What does it do for me? The same as other previous Audio Formats- hardly!
Maybe THAT would be a good place to start.

This thread gives new and insightful meaning to circular reasoning.

PO, your conclusion is based on your premise and made to seem valid by the use of some factual tidbits that can stand apart from your premise. Your argument can be reduced to: "Computer audio is dead because computer audio is dead".
Then: "Try to convince me otherwise."

I'm outta here!!!!

All the best,
Nonoise
