It turns out not to be needed for our kid, who loves a bunch of different books, but I tried to motivate learning to read by nearly refusing to read him comics. That wasn't because I think they're bad, but because comics (once that use the medium well, at least) don't read aloud easily. As the reader, you constantly have to be deciding the chronology of which sounds/thoughts/voices come when, and whether to whisper, and when to say, "and Batman's thinking..." or whatever. And then you've got maybe a bunch of panels with no words at all, and do you say anything for them or let the pictures speak for themselves?
Blah, It's just not fun for me reading those aloud. So, they're reserved for solo reading.
Sorry - my bad. Guilty as charged.
And there is also the issue - was the hypothetical 256 kilosample/second MP3 made from the analog original or resampling the sampled source.

I tried a number of sampling schemes with a number of program sources on my system. Then had the sources switched for me (electronics are in another room from my speakers, so it was blind). On some material, I could hear significant differences from the original - where the original was an audio CD - sampled in the first place.
That's not scientifically acceptable - but perhaps it's a probative anecdote.
Such insight.
Your brilliant hindsight is a common flaw of youth. Displaying great wisdom when you have few facts and only one chance to do the right thing is harder than simply passing judgement on decisions made before you were born.
You'll see. Your grandchildren's generation will call you to task for missing the obvious solutions.

I recently flew from LA to Fiji. On the way forward, you land two days after departure, on the way back, you land at the same time you departed...
It's pretty disturbing.
