Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved


Unable to respond to, "Mach2Music and Amarra: Huge Disappointment"- Thread. Other Members take free pop-shots!
Apparently some have more Freedom Of Speech than others! I
don't know how many times I have said it, I want Computer
Audio to succeed! It will only succeed if Computers are designed from the ground up to reproduce Music (Same minimum standard applied for Equipment of ALL Audio Formats)! This is common sense Audio Engineering Design. Bandaid Modifications cannot be substituted for absence in design to produce Music! Design it right to EARN the right to become a New Audio Format- same as all other Audio Formats! No Freebee's, No Cutting Corners! Lack of design is what's causing such varied results in S.Q. between
listeners of Computer Audio. I see about 50% negative
responses here on these Threads. It will continue to happen unless you fix it! Blaming me won't help! I am an
Engineer, and I can read results! 50/50 success/ failure
rate- you have an inherit Engineering Design Flaw for the
reproduction of Music via Computers! Shock! Suprise- since
they were never designed for Music! So when is someone finally going to properly design the Equipment/Computer
(From the ground up) for Computer Audio? Do we continue
to treat any real criticism as "HERESY" in the lack of
design in Computer Audio for Music? You tell me what I am
allowed to talk about, and we will both know!

Last couple of my Responses have been rejected for being too
"inflammatory". I was hoping to end this Thread once, and for all. I will only say that for most Music you can still pretty much get it via CD, or Music Downloads. You guys are the ones who claim that "it takes a little bit more digging" to find it. I came here for an argument to reverse that trend. No reason to jump through smaller, and smaller hoops to find your Music. Your answer was to build "Bomb Shelters" of Musical Archive in preparation. How is this NOT inconsistent with what you claim now? As diplomatic as I can possibly respond "Please kindly get your stories straight". My missing Music is inconsequential, I got it!
I do listen, but you have to start listening to how you sound from this end. Most of your answers agree that Music Selection is a little harder to come by due to Computer Audio. It is not an "Answer" agreeing with me, that I want. I already have an acknowledgement of the problem, but see no solution (or desire) to correct it. I don't see an alternative Audio Music Format without the Music Selection.
If you do, THAT leaves a vacuum. You can't fill that vacuum by tossing mud at me. If that is your answer, why would anyone listen? Finding Downloads is NOT the problem, finding
my Music available as a Download IS the problem. It is just not a problem to you. Maybe YOU should do a little bit more listening? "Soon All New Music Will Only Be Available As Music Downloads" means cutting my Music Selection off at the knees. If you cut me don't I bleed? Get the Download Selection up, then we will consider it. What is this crap of desperately trying to avoid it at all costs? Are you afraid of Computer Audio going under? Are you terrified of having too much Download Music Selection available? How is that....B-A-D??? Please explain, and don't try to distract from an Explanation by claiming that "I Don't Listen". This is wearing thin as a tool to avoid really answering the question. I see our Music Selection going out on a limb. I see us going out on a limb over Computer Audio with no research support from Computer Manufacturers over Sound Quality. Customer Support being unaccountably supplied by other Customers....is there anything this Audio Format does right AS an Audio Format in context of what other Audio Formats have provided? Apparently WE do all of the production work, and we pay through the nose for the priviledge of the added tasking. Is it asking too much for Computer Audio Downloads to supply us the Music Selection that we are accustomed to? Cut us some slack somewhere! Show
some Mercy, instead of being "Mr. Freeze" with our Music Archives. Freezing us out? THAT is your Answer? Sorry if I have a tendency to say "Right Back At You"! That is being responsive, NOT being inflammatory (A Little Cold for That
don't you think?). You tell me when we will "Thaw" out the Music Selection Availability in Computer Audio Downloads. I am not buying "Ice Cubes" to use for Audio in the meantime.
They don't fit in my ears very well, and they are just a little uncomfortable. I diplomatically must return them to you, with all due respect. Give me Music instead, if you please!
"I already have an acknowledgement of the problem, but see no solution (or desire) to correct it."

Um - OK - then let me ask this. You are the only one complaining but you have "no desire to correct it". So WTF are you complaining about then? Do you really think WE will try to correct it if we're not even complaining in the first place? Heck, goodness knows I have had my fair share of problems and challenges with computer audio - and everything in life for that matter - but you had better believe that I have addressed these problems and tried to correct them. Much more productive than complaining and being contrarian for a year.

Honestly, you're just complaining for the sake of complaining. When asked to list all this wonderful music you can't get, you can't even come up with one example. NOT EVEN ONE!

You started this tread complaining about SOUND QUALITY - and have cycled through a litany of other complaints - some related, many unrelated. More than a year has gone by, 8 pages of complaints...yet you have done nothing productive to try and correct it yourself.

I'm glad you finally came clean on this. Anyone who complains for years about something but doesn't even lift a finger to correct it is a loser, plain and simple.

Look here's the simple truth:

In this day and age, a simple google search can get you whatever music you seek, so shut your trap about that already!
PO,

you belong to an era that has passed. For better or for worse its all changed. I would say in most ways for the better. Just image listening to a cassette again.

DSD & DXD files now starting to be released as downloads on a few specialist sites. All you have to do is search. Now the word "search" may fill you with dread, but luckily that playback machine called a computer probably has something called google. So you type & it searches.
Guys, been there, done that for the last year (8 pages). You simply cannot claim "Soon All New Music Will Only Be Available As Music Downloads" when NOT everything is available as Music Download, AND 10,000 CD Selections are currently NOT AVAILABLE. You want me to list all 10,000-nuts! I don't know ALL 10,000, I just know that I can no longer check them out because they are "NO LONGER IN PRINT",
and "NOT AVAILABLE AS DOWNLOAD". There are way more CD Selection missing than is currently being provided as Selection in Download. I don't want to name/ have you find
one, or two selections (Download or CD). I want access to those 10,000 EITHER as a CD or a MUSIC DOWNLOAD Period!!!
I don't care about one particular selection, I want to select from the 10,000. The particular Title is irrelevant
when I want 10,000 in Music Title Archive back on the Market. I complain, because you are perfectly satisfied in permanently leaving those 10,000 OFF of the market. There are no plans on making those missing 10,000 available as a Music Download. The current number of available Downloads tell you all that you need to know. You are worried about one single Title while I am saying good-by to a whole Archive of Music. If you intend on going "Soon All New Music
Will Only Be Available As Music Download" then do it right by making ALL Music Currently missing as CD available as a Music Download. The numbers scream Gap! Void!- And YOU KNOW IT!!! FILL THE VOID as required when implementing a New Audio Format, or your New Audio Format is simply NO GOOD! It is the apathy cemented in concrete that is dead set in growing that void way larger than it currently is. Nobody here even demands better performance in Music Selection for Music Downloads. You will be waiting 20 years from now still waiting for it to happen, and I won't have anything left available on CD. We just do WITHOUT any Audio Format then??? There is NO PLAN for rapid increase in Music Selection in Music Downloads. It is just like HDTV, still waiting after 10 years for larger increase in HD Selection.
Rocks grow older faster. Oh, but everyone promised us a Holy
Grail in Selection. This time we hold these promises to the fire, and say "Show Us First"! You say "Shut your trap", and we still say "Show Us First"- because we both know you still don't have anything to show for it. You won't have anything to show for it in the near future. I desperately need you to have something to show for it- my Music depends on it! You are the one fighting this tooth, and nail! I am into listening to Music. If I was into pulling Teeth I would have been a Dentist. We are not Dentists, we are supposed to be Music Listeners. Sorry, I don't find the sight of blood very Musical. You must be frustrated that more Music Download Selection can't be produced any faster
( And Anyone Who Complains About It Is The Enemy That Needs To Be Silenced ). Silence will end up being the ONLY Music left to listen to, unless you "CHANGE" the direction of the trend NOW!!! I cannot change the Trend by myself when EVERYONE is perfectly satisfied with the current Trend, and I cannot convince anyone otherwise. I guess we ALL build
"BOMB SHELTERS" of Musical Archive to survive the DROUGHT
( NUTS!- THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANTED ). What the hell- who needs Music anyways, right?
PO, are you are record collector? If so then revel in the joy
of looking for rare music. If not shut up. You and uour 10,000 records that have been deleated. Like its something new! Records have their time.

Would you say the same about cars? They stopped making the model T ford and every showroom I go into only has new cars. Why did they stop making the model T? I really want one.
