2 Really Intelligent Questions

Here they are:

1. Why don't portable media devices use real or flash audio?

I mean, come on, only 50kb for a song!? You could fit like a billion songs on a 1 gig player!

2. Why do people insist on having "lossless" or "high quality" songs?

They just eat up space. I can't tell the difference between a 320 kbs .mp3 and a 120 kbs mp3, so whats the point? And wtf is "lossless"? Can you here the guy who is singing the song breathe or something?

1. I think real would want money because they make you download their program when you want to use their files and i think their files are small because it streams it.
2. audiophiles can tell the difference mainly though .flac doesn't matter unless you want to make an identical copy of an audio cd.

Flash audio sounds like a great idea, besides for the audiophiles.

Flash is wonderful. I can tell the difference between 128 and 192, though after 192, it sounds much the same.
