Default 24-bit on tap at Apple?

Hear, hear!

Today people get recording contracts based on how photogenic they are.
Machines sing them into tune. AND THEN

Most
commercial recordings today are released in a form which is far less
than "16-bit" in quality - they have been deliberately compressed
during the mastering process to sound "louder". They've been quashed,
pummeled, clipped, gain-ridden, smelched, and squeezed down into a
tiny dynamic range.


And they wonder why we don't buy records!
