What do you think sounds better? My CD player and turntable or a 10MB mp3/m4a file playing on your tiny tiny little speakers that probably cost about 10p to make in China?
And since everyone loves Adele. What do you think Adele would want? Do you think she would want her fans listening to her music on these devices or on great sound systems where the music can really be heard and appreciated? That goes for any artist who records their music in studios with millions of pounds worth of equipment. Do you think they spend money on hiring the best session musicians and best instruments and engineers just for their fan base to listen to it on a compressed digital file? Of course they don't. Even a £50 budget CD player or record player will sound better than any laptop or phone you could have. What's the point then. She might aswell record the album in one day in a cheap studio because if people are listening on laptops and phones they wont hear the bass properly or appreciate the drums, they wont appreciate any effort she puts into her vocals because they wont be hearing it properly so why bother? £500 a day studio would do, then bung the mp3s on her website for a tenner and have done with it.
If people wanna pay $12 for something a search engine result will give them then that is their choice. If I was Adele I'd be laughing all the way to the bank, saves money making CDs and vinyl records when you can just charge them money to download a digital file.
And I know there's a big campaign in record stores in the UK and USA and for those of you that went and bought the album on CD or vinyl, good for you. Good for you for leaving the house and getting out in the world and actually paying for a real copy of the album, hold it in your hands, put it on your shelf, show people in your family.
