Seriously though, this is a journalist with column inches to fill, and her comments need to be taken with several pinches of salt. Why would switching from physical formats to computer-based audio cause someone's musical tastes to take a sudden nose-dive?

That would only be a valid analogy if we were comparing listening to live music versus listening to recorded music. A more valid question would be 'Would you enjoy watching adult movies on VHS tape as much as via an internet feed?'

A lot of people seem to need this sound in the background. It can be horrid as long as not too loud.
Some of the stuff I hear on Radio 1 in the day as I'm passing is just awful - perhaps as it always was.
Point taken with Journos but this one sounded about right.
One of our customers got rid of all his vinyl and now regrets it terribly. I've heard of a few people getting rid of CDs and ripping - to MP3 in the main - regrets to come or not ?

English is not my native language, so I wonder if “this guy” and “his sentiments” properly also can be used for a female. The linked article from the “The Guardian” was written by a woman called Sophie Heawood.
