Digital music is bad for you
analog is good

Here is scientific proof


Poppycock by a hack peddling nutritional supplements.

If this is the same Dr. Diamond as was badmouthing Digital back in 1980
and
1985, and it appears that it is, we're basically looking at some very
old
news.

JAES, Vol 28, p, 546, 1980 July/Aug and JAES,Vol.33, No.12, 1985
December

Dr. Diamond's claims fail the independent duplication test. Other
independent experimenters fail to duplicate his results, even when
instructed in the use of his procedures by Dr. Diamond.




Diamond is a well known quack.

"... he now practices as a Holistic Consultant and blends his experience
in medicine, psychiatry, complementary medicine, the humanities, holism,
applied kinesiology, acupuncture theory, spirituality and the arts,
especially music, to help people overcome problems relating to body, mind
and spirit. "

The guy is scary.


Nothing can be more scary to you
than the concept that music soothes stress
and makes one feel better.



I think you misunderstand my position.

Here is something that says that digital music digital is helpful.

"MEADVILLE, PA (November 14, 2003) — The employee dissatisfaction,
burnout and rampant turnover that threaten one of America's most stress-prone
industries — long-term care — may have a solution in one of man's oldest
activities, according to a new scientific study. Researchers have found
that a specific Recreational Music-making (RMM) program drastically
reduced employee burnout and mood disturbances with huge projected economic
benefits for the long-term care industry."

"A groundbreaking study, funded by Yamaha Corporation of America with
participation by REMO and published in the Fall/Winter 2003 issue of
Advances in Mind-Body Medicine, demonstrates that a six-week program of
Recreational Music-making not only reduced burnout in long-term care workers,
but also reduced Total Mood Disturbance by 46 percent. Using industry-wide
human resources data, researchers projected that this improvement could
result in an 18.3 percent reduction in employee turnover, which would
save the average 100-bed facility more than $89,000 a year-and the entire
long-term care industry as much as $1.46 billion annually. Actual reductions
in turnover at Wesbury United Methodist Retirement Community, the center
where the study took place, exceeded the research projections."

"The study's protocol was based upon Group Empowerment
Drumming, coupled with exercises on a digital piano..."
