Well … it’s official. My old stereo is broken. It makes CDs sound like the vocalists are caught in slow motion. Underwater. And horses are stomping on them. That's not how I like my music to sound, so it’s time to start looking at new stereo receivers.
I have to say I’m a bit disappointed. I LIKED my old stereo. It was the newest thing when I first got it. It played MP3s that I had recorded on CD, and I could put hundreds of songs on a single disc. I always thought that was pretty cool, and with a 5 disc changer, I could load enough music to play for over a week without hearing the same song twice, if I wanted. I’m going to miss that stereo.
But I hadn’t looked recently at what is now available, and now that I am looking, I’m getting excited! There are streaming media receivers that have ports for my iPhone and iPod, so I can still play my MP3s, but I won't need to copy them to disc first now. Not only that, but I would have access to almost twenty thousand internet radio stations (and I thought a couple hundred television channels were overwhelming! But fortunately, the radio stations are listed by genre online). And all of my favorite podcasts would be at my fingertips as well. This is going to be just too cool.
Oh, and I almost forgot -- it plays local AM and FM too.
Oh, Santa ..... Now where did he go?
