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 ?
