... and then he destroyed music for an entire generation with the iPod.

;-)

Did he destroy music?  Or did he bring the gift of music to more people?  

There are times when I am driving into work, listening to satellite radio in the car (which sounds terrible btw), singing/dancing, and I feel energized and excited to start my day.  It's not Decware hi-fi, but it's music, and any music is better than no music at all.

Everything will catch up (convenience-->quality) and soon everyone will be streaming HD tracks or listening to HD masters, so listen and enjoy the music no matter if it's on your iPod or Decware system...

Cheers,
David
