Streams People Play

Last issue, you and I made a pact, right here in this space. What, you don’t remember? (Apparently, even audiophiles have ADD.) Well, our agreement was essentially this: We the golden-ear people wholly accept streaming as another worthwhile delivery system for receiving and listening to our music, especially given the strides some of the services have been making in providing higher-quality, higher-resolution streams. (Coming back to you now?)

The point is, good music is good music, regardless of how, “Does it matter if your daily hit is acquired digitally or if it’s needled up from a vinyl platter?… With the growth of streaming services, it seems we’re now moving from the old system of bottled medicine to the brave new world of hits on tap…. Stick to the substance and people will line up.”
