Re: [microsound] Physical Media - Discussion

[banyek <soutiengorge@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

it has been mentioned that one has released something on an
usb device. :)
the problem with the quality is the minority of lossless
encoding, but i think lossless formats will be major in the
near future.
i love the vinyl-cd-any phyisical feeling as well, and i
think in the future there won't be any "only" like
"net-only" or "vinyl-only" release. maybe it is already so
today.
