    Default Hell Has Frozen Over

    Apple is dropping DRM from it's entire iTunes catalogue.

    Sadly, no plans to drop lossy compression at the same time

    This is a very shrewd marketing move by Jobs. Apple continue their slow march to world domination.. ( and I am what you might consider an apple fanboi..)
    They swim... the mark of Satan is upon them. They must hang.

    If you read J-Rand's website you would think that us audiophools are all nutters that would toss ourselves off over our hifi's if someone claimed it made them sound better but read that article and you soon realise that the real nutters are the Apple fanatics. Cue up overnight to get a good seat at an apple press annoucement!! OMG.

    No... not yet... just an early night!
    Edit: Erk!! Just re-read your comment. I would like to state for the record that I have not tried that particular upgrade. TBH it sounds slightly dangerous. Ensure that any equipment is switched off and unplugged prior to tossing, and that any capacitors have had to time to discharge safely.

    It's called the Reality Distortion Field and it definitely exists. I can't explain it but it's true.

    It even works on subjects as far away as Dubai, according to the Guardian article

    Ahem.

    Being an Apple fan and an audiophile, you can imagine my elation when I began to use my Apple as a hi-fi source.
