20. Complaints
about
digital
music
• Low
MP3
Bitrates,
128
kbps
–
320
kbps
• MP3
–
sounds
too
compressed,
not
a
lot
of
dynamic
range
• No
warmth
-‐
“Metallic
sounding”
• But
we
trade
these
for
convenience
25. Vinyl
fans
sound
off:
• “It’s
real
music,
not
a
representa1on
of
1s
and
0s”
–
Mike
Pedero
• "Vinyl
records
can
play
music
with
much
more
warmth
and
glow
as
compared
to
digital
formats.
Listening
to
Vinyl
records
is
like
ea:ng
a
nice
and
tender
Angus
burger
freshly
grilled
while
CD's
and
MP3's
are
like
Mcdonalds
burgers."
-‐
Dale
Rojas
• "Of
course
we
all
know
the
BIG
difference
in
terms
of
warmth
and
the
feel
of
analog..
digital
has
its
advantages
but
analog
sound
is
more
real,
maybe
because
the
old
recordings
are
played
by
real
musicians.”
