RE: digital = clarity and duplicable

Comment comment by jandaman on 01 February 2008

I'm glad that the records take people back, but that is not a great argument.

As far as great arguments go, that is a pretty poor one...what kind of an elitist view you have to maintain to be so dismissive of any thoughts that you don't agree with. "hold on. this person doesn't agree with me. everything they say must be dumb because my opinion is a true representation of all intellectual, rational people."

I respect your need to have digital music...in my first response, i even granted the fact that its portability is even a big point...it isn't like i totally shun digital music...i have an ipod...i download music...my only point was, given the choice, i would rather listen to vinyl...

but then again, i guess i am just not capable of making solid arguments...

I would say that is irrational and a bit of an overreaction. All I was merely trying to point out is the discussion is about which sounds better, digital music or vinyl. In support of your side of the story, nostalgia is nice but it doesn't necessarily mean that something is better just because it triggers fond memories.

"hold on. this person doesn't agree with me. everything they say must be dumb >because my opinion is a true representation of all intellectual, rational people."

A discussion about two opposing views means that people don't agree, but simply disagreeing with someone's view or saying that an argument is not solid doesn't mean the other person is dumb.

I have fond memories of watching movies in a VCR, but I don't think anyone would have the same argument about DVD vs VHS movie viewing.
