Why Streaming Struggles
JimH:
Somehow this 1984 Wendy's commercial symbolizes the difficulty of finding the money in the streaming haystack.
Where's the Beef?

Amazon can probably sell quarters for 10¢ and still come out ahead...
RoderickGI:
Ooo. That could make a difference. It will certainly put the cat among the pigeons!
JimH:
I think it probably spells the end of Tidal and MQA. Maybe Qobuz.

Would be interesting if Amazon would partner (or buy out) one of the lossless / high-def vendors like HDTracks?
Sadly, I'm still not convinced the "Average American" understands audio compression, lossless or even high definition audio at this point. Most of my peers can't hear the difference between a 320 MP3 file and a lossless flac file much less a standard 16 bit/44.1KHz CD versus a 88.2 kHz/24-bit recording. Then on the other hand, one of the guys I worked with would swear that his $300 USB cables sounded better than my $15.00 ones so it seems media quality is verrrrrrryyyyyyyy subjective
