That's not true. I know 20 somethings who are very discerning
audiophiles. Truly good sound transcends generations.

I like this for casual listening:

I tend to agree. Young people are still basically human beings, not
really any different from the way we were when we were younger.

It is possible that some young people, who are only just discovering
music, might not yet discovered good sound quality. However, most of
them end up getting IPods, IPods can actually provide surprisingly good
sound quality, and even the standard ear buds sound reasonably good. Not
exactly audiophile quality, but good enough I think, that they will not
like changing to low quality such as that delivered by HD-Radio.

iPods don't do FLAC, but they play wav files. I have a pair of Grados
that sound really nice on an iPod, ripped from CD to wav file.
