Thread Name: Napster, MP3 and their place in music
Subject: RE: Napster, MP3 and their place in music
As someone who loves trad session tapes made late at night in little pubs in Clare on little cassette recorders, the fidelity "issue" of mp3s is not an issue for me. I have my own little theory that recorded music just sort of triggers an internal musical experience in the mind, and the quality of the trigger is in the performance which can stand a great deal of abuse in the sound quality department. I'd rather listen to a great performance on a lousy format than visa-versa any day. Is there any Irish session music on Napster?
