Remastered

It's all too true: its hard to be a first-class music snob (one of my key aims in life) when its so easy for someone to just copy songs!

But seriously,the development of first CDs and then swappable MP3s is akin to the development of the printing press. Just as printing allowed obscure books to become more widely circulated, and thus made it less likely they would be lost forever, we now have access to music from all over the world that might otherwise have slipped beyond our reach. The trouble is finding time to listen to it all. I need a way to listen to music while I sleep.
