Editorial
I t’ll come as no surprise that I’m
they were called smart phones, so for
a variety of reasons my portable music
machine is my iPhone 4. I only mention
this because it was a week ago today
that Apple co-founder and CEO, Steve
Jobs, passed away.
a hard core vinyl lover. All of my
serious listening is done with vinyl
as the source, so much so that the
CD player that I do have was removed
from my system more than a year ago
and is currently languishing on a shelf
somewhere. But even more than a vinyl
lover, I’m a music lover, and it’s hard to
listen to vinyl when travelling and digital
sources or much more convenient
when used as a source of background
music. So over the past few weeks I’ve
gradually loaded much of my meagre
CD collection into my computer—
using lossless compression of course!
Storage (even portable storage) is
so copious these days that there is
simply no justiication for using lossy
compression like that scourge of the
music industry, MP3.
Even though there are several devices
in our home with an Apple logo on them
(for instance, this magazine is written
and created on a 27” iMac), and I like
a lot of Apple’s technology, I’m not a
Fanboy. The patronising, Apple know’s
best nature of some of their products,
coupled with their refusal to embrace
open standards (not to mention, iTunes’
eschewal of FLAC as an audio CODEC)
really grates the geek in me. However,
one cannot dismiss Apple’s innovations
and achievements in bringing music to
the masses, and Jobs was instrumental
in them. Rest in peace, Steve.
I don’t use my digital library as a source
for serious listening, but it does make
an ideal source for casual listening and
music on the go. I can’t think of any
downsides to having one’s favourite
music instantly available anywhere. I’ve
been a smart phone user since before
On a lighter note, you may have noticed
that we’ve updated the magazine’s look
a bit since birthday issue. In addition
to adding a (hopefully) thought-
provoking epigraph to the contents
page, we’ve dedicated the back page
