How It's Used

“I have resisted converting my CDs to the MP3 digital format for two reasons. The thought of feeding discs into my computer, one by excruciating one (I believe this was the ninth labor of Hercules), not to mention organizing it once it is digitized, is painful just to contemplate. More important, I’m entirely unwilling to sacrifice sound quality in return for less clutter.”

—Jason Turbow, “Put Another File in the Jukebox, Baby,” The New York Times, February 21, 2008.
