Dear Webby
How good is the quality of music that you buy from for
example iTunes and download ? Does it depend on
how good a connection you have?
Thanks
Cindy

Dear Cindy
The quality is normally exactly as good or as bad as what
the artist has uploaded. The music is in digital format,
just a herd of ones and zeros, not an analog format like
you get on the radio. It is also a lot better than
streaming (play as it comes in) type music, since it
downloads the entire piece first before you can play it.

After that, the sound quality depends entirely on the
quality of your computer's sound card and the speakers
that you use. Don't expect concert quality from $4.95 per
pair speakers!

Best is to connect the speaker cables to the AUX input
on your home stereo system or boom box or TV.

For the absolute best, use an ancient entertainment center
that uses tubes instead of transistors. Tubes create lower
harmonics, while transistors leak into the higher harmonics,
which, even though much crisper and theoretically more
accurate, are very tinny by comparison and not nearly as
pleasant as when the amplifier adds lower harmonics.

Have FUN
