Google 'music service' imminent, says rumor mill

Unless they take the root of offering actual Music ...

... by that I mean FLAC (or Wav)

It seems like the rest of the internet (with the exception of the excellent Boomkat) is stuck in a 2000-2001 mentality offering compressed music when we're living in the age of broadband.

Although I won't hold my breath ... over the years when all these revolutionary new offering come out like iTunes, LaLa, Sportify, iLike or whatever, the bottom line is they're offering lossy compressed music. No good when you're listening to it on a Cowon FLAC playing player with £300 Audio Technica headphones or a Nad Amp with Acoustic Energy speakers.

I like music which means I like lossless music ... anything else is a rip off ... taking out parts of the song - you're paying for 75% of the song. And I've ruined my ears from many years at gigs, festivals, rock clubs, so that argument of you can't hear the difference does not hold up ... not unless you're really not listening.

Google Lossles FTW!

So endeth todays lesson for a good music service.
