It's certainly true that compressed classical music through small headphones is not of the same quality as heard straight off CD through decent speakers, but when I am travelling, I'd rather be able to listen to something, even if the quality is degraded a bit (and I also usually have background noise to contend with). Having gaps in the middle of passages is really annoying though! Thanks for all the responses. Phil On Mon, 2009-05-11 at 18:45 +0100, Benjamin M.
