The headline is a cross-references to the quote from George Entwistle in the first paragraph and is qualified by the word "towards",. <br /><br />Yes, confusion does exist. But it is due to the fact that the only 100% non-digital option for listening to recorded music is an analogue recording replayed from a vinyl LP, and this option is only available to very few people. Which means that most listeners experience of the often superior quality of analogue recordings is via a conflated analogue and digital reproduction chain - ie an analogue recording remastered to CD.<br /><br />Thank you for the link to other sources of lossless recordings which will help spread the word.

It is important to be clear about these things. I am particularly confused because in the body of your post, you suggest that you do understand that you aren't really talking about non-digital (ie. analog) recordings. <br /><br />There are lots of people who are confused about this distinction. Why contribute to it?<br /><br />Additionally, there are several places where one can purchase lossless digital downloads of classical music. My friend, a saxophonist and self-professed audio snob, maintains a list here: http://blog.timothyrosenberg.com/projects/lossless-music-downloads/Dave MacDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05180129872686447490noreply@blogger.com
