Agreed. I've tried home conversion of vinyl to wav with a dedicated sound card and the results are not good, though playable in the car.

Interpolation can help with CD's limitations: some CD oversampling DACs do seem to sound better, (at least to my luddite, vinyl-tuned ears!). It would be nice to see a higher standard for music audio. I know that there is SACD but it never really seems to have caught on, so I guess that for most listeners flexibility and convenience matter more.

Yes I remember tape: 1/4" mastering was good but cassette was it's MP3 equivalent.

And back on a book note: is there any mileage in being able to add audio books to a calibre library?
