As there is no OT I will try to make this a short lived thread.

Aside from that, any mathematician will tell you the sample rate is
insufficient. The highest frequency a person can hear is around 20kHz. The
sample rate of a CD is 44kHz. It should be at least double that, 5x the
highest frequency. Think about it, you could be sampling near the zero
point every time.
And records sound better <g> ;)
Now if they could just make records that last a decent number of
playings...
