They're trying to catch the people who forget to cancel before the trial period ends.
That would be me if I didn't mark it on my calendar. I would mark it on my calendar, but I might be more prone to try it with a longer trial period. I'll stick to my crumby low-bitrate
free Pandora account.

I have audio files..., period.
I don't have a server, I don't subscribe to any music services, so, a plain jane player is fine by me.

Applying Einstein's Theory of Relativity, this new version has probably gone from dreadful to rather awful. Darwin would have called this evolution.

Yeah..., I think I'm done p*ssin around with stuff like Audirvana, and the like.
Foobar is fine and has some great tools..., AIMP sounds great and has some nice toys when I want to play .

Listening to this with my new Beyerdynanic DT 770 headphones (I've EQ'ed them). The Cleveland Quartet 'get' how to play what I consider to be Beethoven's greatest works. Also, kudos to the Telarc engineers who really know how to record a string quartet. No making the quartet sounding a bit like a string orchestra like some recordings do. Excellent blend of subtlety, punch and bite when required.

Seeing it is the 4th of July here is some appropriate music for any Americans out there from a master conductor who had this music in his bones.
In fabulous sound in this SACD release.

Listening to some prickly Bartok. The composer's innovative writing for each part makes it a good test for the audio equipment.

Been listening to this new release from an ongoing series of recordings of Widor's Organ Symphonies. I'll have to listen to it critically through my two pairs of headphones (Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic) but through my speakers & subwoofer the sound seems excellent. The organ is very nice to listen to.

Yes!

Very nice! A bit
hurried in places, though.
