You probably own a portable music device, such as an iPod. They are seen everywhere and enjoyed by people of all ages. This week’s article looks at how these devices have influenced the quality of the sound that we hear through iPods and compressed computer files. Go to the link below and read the article. Write a reflective comment that shows you have read the article, expresses your views, and addresses my questions.
Do you agree that there have been technological advances in the quality of media everywhere except in music? Can you hear the difference between compressed music files and music on CDs? How often do you listen to music on CDs? Respond to the quote from Mr. Fremer about music “It was an activity. It is no longer consumed as an event that you pay attention to.” Do you care about the quality of sound when you listen to music? How much would you be willing to pay for a stereo system?

I don't think that there is less technological music and I don't find any difference on compressed media files and music on CD's. I don't really listen to music on CDs. I usually download music and don't buy CDs and I hear them on my MP4 player. It's only when I am at a music store and they have these headphones and CDs set up with CD players. That's probably when I listen to music on CDs. Mr. Fremer says that music was an activity and it no longer something that one should pay attention to. Well, I think that it's actually his view on today's music. I think that today's music is really good and catchy. I do not agree with the quote. It's just his point of view for todays music. There are many other people who like music that's played these days. When I listen to music, if say file is corrupt or something, the music is not played well. Say it plays really fast and the song turns out to be like sung by the chipmunks. That's when I do care about the quality of music. For a stereo system, I would pay the maximum of around 400-500$. I think that will get you a very good stereo system. I wouldn't waste any more money on those things.
Yes, I agree that there have been technological advances in the quality of media everywhere except in music. No I can't hear the differences between compressed music files and music on CDs. I really never listen to music on CD's because I have an ipod. The quote is true. I don't really care about the quality of sound when I listen to music because it usually is okay. I would be willing to pay around $300 for a stereo system.
I do not agree that music has not advanced, but in my own opinion music its self has not advanced but the way we obtain music has.I do not hear the diffrence between the compressed music files and CD`s. I never listen to CD`S but I used to when i was younger. I now listen to music on my Laptop or my own Ipod. The quote is some-what true. I would pay up to 700$ for a good quality, loud system. I would use it for parties and such.
In terms of music quality, I would agree that the advances made have generally been negligible. Yes, I am aware of the existence of higher quality audio files and technology, but they are also in formats that are essentially unused. I personally cannot hear the difference between compressed music files and music on CDs. I still occasionally listen to music on CDs, partially because I can play them more loudly and without the potential ear damage from overuse of headphones. I disagree that music is “no longer consumed as an event that you pay attention to”. I listen very intently to my music, and do not just use it as something to distract me. The quality of sound when I listen to music is not of critical importance for me, unless it actually distracted me from fully enjoying the sound. I would be willing to pay around $400 to $500 for a good stereo sound system.
Well, I think it depends on the what technology. For example, some music players provide many functions such as video. So inventor less consider the music quality. I can hear the difference between compressed music files and music on CDs. CD usually provides better music quality. For the quote, I agree most of the trends are like that. Music function can be attached to many other function, and it is more like a extra function that you really don't care about unless you can hear the sound. I actually care about the quality of sound, because sometimes music can be totally different with the quality of the sound. Well, I know stereo system's quality usually depends on the price, but I wouldn't pay more than $200.
I believe that there have been many technological advancements in music, mainly in the technology that produces it. There is only a slight difference in the quality of music on CDs from the more digital music. I barely ever listen to music on CDs because it is much more difficult to change CDs than when it is on a computer. Yes because I can not listen to poorly recorded music without having to listen closely. Depends on how much they cost.
I do not agree that there have been many technological advances in the quality of media everywhere except in music. I can't tell the difference between compressed music and music on CDs. I stopped listening to music on CDs nowadays. I stil pay attention to the music i listen to, and I do care about the quality of the music. I would not pay for a stereo system because I use my laptop.
