What if iTunes never happened?
The Audiophiliac on CNET &bull Yesterday
Apple introduced iTunes on January 9, 2001, but it wasn't that big a deal, world domination took years to fully develop. I admired the effort, and Apple figured out a way to get people to pay for downloaded music. That's… Full Story »

Audiophile conundrum: Does more equal better?
The Audiophiliac on CNET &bull Mar 4, 2010
Don't get me wrong, I love high-end audio. But I can also tell you occasional glimpses of musical nirvana can come from fairly modest gear. Sometimes it's more about some sort of synchrony where my mood, the music, the gear,… Full Story »

Poll: Is 7.1 channel home theater a bust?
The Audiophiliac on CNET &bull Feb 24, 2010
I'm a big proponent of stereo home theater, but I'd quickly concede that most home theater buyers are looking for multichannel systems. Of all the available multichannel options--11.1, 9.1, 7.1, 6.1, and 5.1 --that last one is the most popular, but that hasn't stopped most manufacturers from only offering 7.1-channel… Full Story »

How to make your speakers sound better: Play better sounding music
The Audiophiliac on CNET &bull Feb 21, 2010
Decent-sounding records are becoming increasingly rare, so I'd like to point out the great-sounding ones that have come my way in recent months. For more good stuff check out my previous "Top 10 must-have CDs" lists from 2009. First, I have to admit I'm not a big TP fan, but I love this four-disc live collection culled from a database of 3,500 songs, including 169 takes of "American Girl" performed between 1980 and 2007. The tunes aren't arranged in chronological order, but the sound quality remains high from start to finish. Vocals… Full Story »

Case in point: developer Jon Atherton says he received a letter that Apple pulled his wildly popular Wobble iBoobs app because Apple decided to remove any overtly sexual content from the App Store following customer complaints.
