It's hard to say, but I know of at least a few young people who do seem
to appreciate real quality. Even a guy in his 20s who isn't keen on 320k
mp3 and prefers FLAC.



Their "Gold Standard" is iTunes Digital Music

The default for ITunes is aac@128k. That is a dam sight better sounding
that low bit rate digital radio systems.

and to
this 'New' Generation of 'Digital' Music Listeners
{Audio Content Consumers} : What You or I and 'others'
would say is not good to poor sounding music is still
very good to great to them.

? Do We Know What Today's Younger Audio
'Content' Consumers Want and Expect ?

The advantages of the personal music player, first the Walkman cassette
and CD units, and now the flash based units, over the older boom boxes
made many of us happy that we no longer had to endure bad and loud music
from others, but the long term effects on hearing loss are a serious
problem.
