No matter what people say about how far mp3 technology has come, I still feel it is no match for an audio cd played on a 5.1 surround sound system. I don't know if it's just a perception I've created in my mind but to me an mp3 doesn't have the same energy I feel from my old audio cds. Yesterday I sat down and went through my old album collection...cds I gathered over years...back when you could only purchase originals at one or two stores in Karachi and on a monthly pocket money budget they were very expensive! :)
As I went through the cds....I remembered so much that was associated with particular songs...particular times in my life. Certain songs took me back to happier times....certain songs to sadder times and some just took me to places I had been long ago and the memory had now somewhat faded.
I remember how things started with J....the song that played in the background....the song that I listened to again and again because to me that song was now imprinted with the memory of that moment....that feeling. Even now...just the melody of that song brings back so many memories....so many "what ifs" now....
