Subj: [kl] MP3 vs CD audio OR the value of diversity
Date: Sun, 16 Dec 2001 14:23:31 -0500

People get worked up over what matters to them. That is why our resident
recording expert responded so strongly to incorrect perceptions about the
fidelity differences among various digital recording formats. Though I don't
have a particularly strong opinion in this area, I'm glad that someone else
does, for therein lies the strength of diversity.

Subject: [kl] MP3 vs CD audio

Thanks to all who wrote to me, both publicly and privately, to correct my
mistaken impression that MP3 and CD audio were identical in quality after
producing an MP3 from the CD. Another case of a little knowledge being a
dangerous thing, and I stand corrected.

I found the character of the responses to be interesting and wanted to
comment on them. Some were matter-of fact, some were kind and diplomatic,
while others were indignant. Yes, indignant! Strange to see that some
folks can get so worked up over something like my misinformed statements on
MP3 files. Hmmm... guess I will leave it at that.

With good will toward all,
Stan Geidel
