And the music we force-feed them through the new music Tuesdays admail. They want to make absolutely certain that we control the content on their iPods and computers, so that their digital files have a guarantee of quality. The digits in our digitized music have better timbre, vibratto, and warmth—something true audiophiles appreciate and something that Real, despite their name, can’t deliver.”
