	<title>13-Year-Old Trades iPod For a Walkman For a Week</title>

	<htmltext>BBC Magazine convinced 13-year-old Scott Campbell to <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk\_news/magazine/8117619.stm">trade in his iPod for a Walkman for a week</a> and see what he thought. Scott thinks the iPod wins when it comes to sound quality, color, weight, and the shuffle feature. The Walkman, however, offers two headphone sockets, making it much easier to listen to music with a friend. My favorite part of the review is, "It took me three days to figure out that there was another side to the tape. That was not the only naive mistake that I made; I mistook the metal/normal switch on the Walkman for a genre-specific equalizer, but later I discovered that it was in fact used to switch between two different types of cassette."</htmltext>

	<htmltext>Doubt it.  Looks to me like the reporter gave the kid the Walkman, let him play with it for a week, asked him questions about his experience, and then wrote the article from the viewpoint of the kid.  A 13 year old would not say "remeber that?" in reference to things he is seeing for the first time.  <br>
<br>
This isn't really uncommon practice in the journalism world.  My sister was interviewed by an Isreaeli reporter shortly after the rocket attacks a few months back, because of her status as an American and her proximity (she was a few blocks from where the rockets struck).  The reporter synthesized all her answers and thoughts during the interview and wrote the article as though it had been written by my sister.  It gave the whole article a sense of first-person immediacy, instead of the dry descriptions of a reporter who wasn't there.</htmltext>

While I am totally happy to have my entire music collection on a device about the size of a single cassette, and I in no way long for a return to cassette tapes, I will say this:  I find it much harder to recall the name of the artist/song of new music I buy.  When I bought records or CDs in my youth, playing a song meant grabbing the album, seeing the picture on the album, looking at the sleeve/booklet, touching the disc, and putting it on or in the player.  Now, I have practically no visual or tactile connection with the media and as a result, on a number of occasions I have had to scroll through every artist in my playlist hoping that running across the name by doing a brute force "read every name" search will trigger enough to get me in the right direction.  I find it much harder to remember new artist names and new song names without the additional cues you mention.  Maybe it's just age, but I've always been bad at names, good at faces.  Still, the thought of lugging around 50 pounds of CDs, or hundreds of pounds of records, makes me treasure my mp3 device, even if I have to give up my search and put it on random play.</p></div>

	<htmltext>I loved my tape collection but it could be completely hit or miss as to how long they'd last because your tape could get eaten, you ideally, had to keep cleaning the player, and, while this is true of electronics in general, tapes laying around in the car was not a good idea at all.
<br> <br>
I personally think CDs had better cover art and you were much more likely to get more stuff to read in the CD over than the tape cover. The paper was generally better quality and it didn't fall apart after years of use (assuming you actually looked at it), the lack of decent cover art has more to do with the transition to downloadable music rather than CDs.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>I honestly wouldn't know how you'd get off saying a cassette has higher fidelity than a 128kbps MP3.  The noise floor on a compact cassette was something like 40 dB below ref, only perhaps 10 dB at most of headroom, and the HF response over 8K was terrible.  You'd need Dolby C or Dolby S to offset cassettes to the point where their noise floor character was equivalent to an MP3.  Even though MP3s have more noticeable artifacting, what's an artifact on the cymbals compared to a Niagara falls-scale tape hiss?
<p>The cassette doesn't have artifacts on sibilants, but then again it doesn't really have any HF <em>at all</em>, so if, for example, you were listening to a compact cassette recording of an MP3, the HF artifacts would probably go away, because the cassette simply doesn't have the response to capture those frequencies.</p></htmltext>

	<htmltext><p>I switched from an aging iPod mini to a Sony S638F "walkman", more or less the Sony high-end equivalent of an iPod nano 8GB. I'm not happy. I bought it because the sound quality is superior to the Apple players, and I'm willing to believe that it is. However, the interface is just awful. The scroll wheel is an incredibly awesome interface for things like changing the volume and particularly for skipping withing songs/audio lectures/podcasts. But even apart from that, Sony made so many stupid interface mistakes which are inexcusable for a premium product that's not really cheaper than an iPod.</p><p>For instance, there is no sleep timer. There is a clock, which can be accessed cumbersomely and which "pops up" every 10 seconds or so, which means if you want the time all you got to do is take out the player... and stare at it for an average of 5 seconds; what a joke. Apart from that, there is no way to make any use of the clock. You can't use it to wake up at a specific time, you can't use it to shutdown at a certain time, not even "in X minutes". Another thing is that iPods pause when you remove the headphones. Even when locked, you can get your iPod to shut down simply by yanking out the headphones. The Sony player doesn't do this, AND it doesn't have a sleep timer, which means if I fall asleep listening to music chances are it's still running when I wake up, with 20\% of the battery gone.</p><p>And there are so many more annoyances. For instance, the player has a 4-way control on the front (and an additional 2 way control for volume on the side). In the main playback mode, in other words in the mode people are spending 90\% of their time in, the up/down action of the 4-way control is basically useless. You can use it to navigate the library, but not in a very useful way, and certainly not in a way that's important enough to waste a central part of the user interface on.</p><p>More? Ok. To find out how long the currently playing song is you have to press OPTION, scroll down 5 times to the "Detailed Informa..." entry, open it and then it displays a pop-up with the song length.</p></htmltext>

I spent many a tedious hour winding a tape back onto the spool after having a tape player spew it out everywhere, being careful not to crease it at any point, else it might catch in another player's mechanism and either unwind again or just break.  The sound quality also noticeably degraded after the tape was played several times, and reproductions were incredibly lossy.  And God help you if you left one in a hot car.</htmltext>

The way Sony handled the minidisc format is unsurprisingly idiotic, but the technology itself is very cool (Faraday effect/magneto-optical). They are also very durable, last a long time on batteries and have removable media which to some people is a feature rather than a bug. I don't use portable players much but when I do I still use my MZ-RH1 Hi-Md. But then again, I never, ever use the horrible SonicStage software that is necessary to access most of the best features of the device. I only use it to record vinyl and play it back, no computer involved.  I also used to use it for recording live shows and other audio. The sound quality of the MZ-RH1's internal ADC-DAC is simply amazing...I would record a studio album with this device, and have no problem with sound quality. It's amazing, and depressing, because Sony is so stupid.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>Here we branch out into technically superior and characteristically superior. I liken it to an old car. All those posting here about head being coated (which can be cleaned real easily, the joy of listening after that exercise!) and cassettes needing re-spooling or degrading with use need to look at it this way. All these very things make an album on cassette a thing. Not a song that can be copied in no time and you never getting to feel it.

<br> <br>

You can argue that mp3s appeal to the ear only as opposed to cassettes (or even vinyl for that matter) that appeal to the ears, eyes, touch and if you're weird like me, then even taste and smell.
<br> <br>
Of course, you have your cover flow, but how can that compare to a piece of paper with art printed on it.

	<htmltext>I remember when the walkman and similar cassettes came out.  I did not know what the metal/normal switch was for, and I was more than 13.  It did not seem that long until the auto reverse feature was common.  I wonder how many people in the 90's, who never grew up with albums, really understood that there were two tracks, or sides, on a tape.
<p>
Here are the two reasons I liked my first MP3 player better than a tape or cd player.  First, even on my primitive player, which I used from a time before the iPod existed until the Minis came out, it was nice to carry hours of music around without having to carry a my 30 tape case, not to mention the player that was huge by comparison.  Second, battery life was much better.  I would easily go through a set of batteries every day or so on a CD player.  The MP3 player was closer to a week.
</p><p>
I would say the sound is a mater of personal taste.  A walkman though a good pair of headphones is likely better than an iPod, depending if the tape was original or a rip.  I wonder if music is not mastered differently for electronic playback.  I wonder if people have not grown increasingly impatient about content delivery, and a tape playback is simply not efficient enough to be enjoyable.  Back in the day we might have had to wait 20 minutes for the next Michael Jackson video to roll around in the MTV queue(kid, MTV stands for Music TV,and they once played videos all the time.  It was cool.)  Now just get on youtube and get whatever videos you want, without having to sit through damn Tears for Fears mashes.(no offense to the few that liked Tears for Fears videos).  And believe me, not matter what your parents say, much more time was wasted watching the primeval cable stations than anyone could waste on the Internet, without the real benifits of the internet.</p></htmltext>
