Enumerating the specific pros and cons of the various means of playback—magnetic tape, vinyl, CD, MP3, streaming—the author professes a flexible sense of affinity, depending on what the music and playback circumstance demands. He draws on his experiences as a disc jockey and over twenty years of service on the job, and reflects on the particularities of different record formats, from playing time to noise floor.
