Just realized what sucks: Apple’s iTunes-Store is undoubtedly the best invention since sliced bread, but there seems to be a systematic defect. Buying songs for EUR 0.99 delivers an impeccable quality, but buying music-videos for EUR 2.49 often comes along with totally crappy sound quality. So in a playlist with naturally a majority of pure audio songs at a reasonable volume level, the occurrence of the music from a video will be hardly audible. Reversely, when pumping up the volume to the max, the occurence of the next pure audio song will almost blow your entire hearing. I really don’t understand how that can be, especially as around 25 % of the music videos get it right …
But, no bad feelings these days, as I am really looking forward to the DLD (”Digital Lifestyle Day“) in Munich, organized by the publishing company Burda. I went to the event last year already and the DLD is without doubt the most important conference in Germany around internet & web 2.0 topics. The program with the line-up of speakers & guests is absolutely phenomenal, so will be the networking opportunity. Will keep you posted here.
