I've downloaded several albums after being hooked on YouTube tracks, only to find out that the sharp, squeaky-clean album sound makes the track a bit less interesting. The "woolly" sound from cassettes and poor recordings sometimes gives music an extra texture. Ever experienced the same thing? |

People tend to like the first version of the movie/song/book they experienced. The remake/remix/remaster is never as good. |

"Ever experienced the same thing?" > no. i do use youtube (and lo-fi sound clips at amazon or similar websites) to discover a particular artist or band sometimes, but i have always preferred the proper audio quality so far... do you have any examples of tracks that sounded better in poor audio quality to you? |

An example that comes to mind is BoC's Twoism. I much prefer the release before it was remastered. It's too crisp on the remaster. |

i remember people saying they liked gantz graf before they heard it on flac, saying the mp3 compression made it less harsh. cant think of any of my own examples, but i know what you're talking about. |

Yes, Twoism is one of the few things where I prefer the sound of the low quality version. |

Yeah i know what you mean , sometimes the bad quality ads something interesting. |

most definitely |

The same thing applies to A Few Old Tunes. If they were to be released properly, it would propably sound disappointing. It depends on the music though, I don't think that fuzzy tape sound would have suited Autechre's newest material. |

Didn't so-and-so master an entire album in realplayer, man that is so '99... But seriously know what you mean, that crunchy tin-coat is just what the ear is looking for sometimes. youtube though? that's too good quality for my liking...no more than streamed 56k modem qual is the way |

I don't know about ''better'', but it can be interesting. Especially with harsh sounds. Heavy beats and high pitched notes. Squaking guitar sounds and crunchy stuff in lo-fi often doesn't seem as abrasive or as driving as I expected it to be when I hear a high quality version of it. |

it gives all the 80's clips that nice worn cassette tape sound, just as fuzzy as my memories. |
