I love programming and there are 2 things I require: coffee and music. You give me fresh coffee and let me play my music (Alt-Rock with a hint of blues), I can program all day and all night. 🙂 Although, my wife will get really mad about me programming all night. 🙂
My wife and I have 5 kids. So, when either the kids or my wife ask me what I want for my birthday or Xmas, etc… I say music, music and more music. And not the low quality digital download music (crap) but I want my music on CD. I want CDs for 2 reasons: (1) it is the best quality available for music and (2) the artist gets paid the most in royalties from a CD purchase.
For years and years, when I get new CDs, I had to rip them twice. Once to get the music in FLAC format and a second time to get MP3 format (VBR 192-320kps).
I use Winamp to play my music from my FLAC music library. But since Apple has refused to support FLAC, I have to have my music in MP3 format, so that I can load it onto my iPhone and iPod.
So, I REALLY hope this news article is correct:

It will make my life so much easier when I get new CDs. 🙂
