Wired magazine calls it the “MP3 effect.” It goes like this: Any audiophile can tell you vinyl records have the best sound quality. Then CDs were born, which sounded worse than vinyl, but quickly dominated the market because they were easier to play, more portable and cheaper. Then MP3s came along and they really sounded like shit — worse than CDs, way worse than vinyl. But most music purchased today is in the MP3 format.
