| Is Apple Music lossless/uncompressed? There is an alternative if using Airplay - buy a 1st generation AirPort Express off EBay (got mine for $10). Set up to join your existing network. Use the 3mm audio out to connect to your amp/preamp etc. (!st gen AirPort Express are Airplay 1 rec... | |
| Modern Covers of Classics Wow. Just wow. | |
| Modern Covers of Classics OP here. Wow, I'm floored by all the suggestions. Who knew there were so many covers and bands I've never heard of. Some cover songs are even scary. Thanks! | |
| Bad sounding recordings You should hear Sisters and Brothers on SACD. Very fine recording. | |
| Annoying newbie CD/SACD player question Re Sony cd/sacd/dvd players, I have an old s570. CD layer is mid fi at best but I find the player sounds pretty good playing SACD's with good amp and speakers (YBA/ProAc) They can be good interim or back up players IMHO. | |

| Best Love Songs +1 on Missing you. | |
| Heist/ crime songs Brothers Osborne - Ain't My Fault | |
| Springsteen. Only the Strong Survive I recommend also watching the video of Do I Love You - great band and back up singers. Apparently this song was never released commercially and somehow Bruce dug it up and did it justice. | |
| Krauss/Plant CMT Crossroads CMT is a Country music TV channel. I get it thru my Comcast/Xfinity package. Might be on You Tube but not sure. | |
| Rock performers that play/record a different genre Honeydrippers! I have that cd and forgot about it. Pretty good sound also. |
