Hello,
a nice anecdote from me: Years back (might even be a decade), when I did request some music, Greta told me
I needed to listen to more stuff before. It has always presented itself as a hero and gatekeeper of librarymusic.
Much love to Retro...this platform is superb, but as the years went by not much more to discover. (THX) I would say about 90% of what gets posted nowadays is wacky. Of course, everything gets cheered - an A for the effort...ALSO, it is not really about FLAC or MP3 - it is about how well you are able to rip the record/ how good the components and the configuration of your setup is.
My cup of tea...of course Greta's post that started this fun was taken out of context, but some could see it as provocative.
