mp3 diminishes feelings from musical experience

MediaPost Publications: "'The pace of technological change has accelerated further over the last 20 years or so and these fundamental changes in the nature of musical experience and value have arguably become even more pronounced,' North told AFP. 'Because so much music of different styles and genres is now so widely available via portable MP3 players and the Internet, it is arguable that people now actively use music in everyday listening contexts to a much greater extent than ever before.'

North concluded: 'The degree of accessibility and choice has arguably led to a rather passive attitude towards music heard in everyday life.' "

And I conclude: Bullshit.
