Comment Re:This is the best argument for Windows 8? (Score 1, Insightful) 344

The worst thing about Patch Tuesday is when Windows decides to reboot your system when you're not there, without your knowledge, and closes all your data logging programs, or unsaved files, etc.
They don't know how to make software that doesn't assume that the user is some type of inept, mindless, or unimportant jackass.

It's the content of the music, that relays the emotion. Would Robert Johnson, or Django Reinhardt, convey any more or less emotion in vinyl, or 192khz sample rate? You won't extract more emotion from music with more clarity. Less clarity could actually enhance the emotion delivered, for example a distorted guitar amplifier sound. It's too easy to get caught up in the properties of the playback machines, rather than the message of the music, the emotional payload that can be carried just as well through various different quality media. Rhythm, harmony, pitch, tone, timbre all combine to deliver the message, the quality of the reproduction is less important.
If you're old enough, remember enjoying a song on AM radio? Was the sound quality better than CD? Did the content of the song make you feel something in your heart and soul? That is what music is, and good music won't be hindered very much by the media of delivery. Of course we all want to hear music in the cleanest, clearest, and truest way, but don't overvalue it.
