Interesting thought about internet music 7 Years, 9 Months ago
Listening to Ken Bruce on my laptop - he played Nat King Cole's When I Fall In Love with Nelson Riddle's fabulous arrangement; the cello part in the intro is divine but I could not hear the celli on my laptop. May be my ears but suspect it's the Internet/MP3 effect which kills the richness. The balance is shot to shit and the mid range (and bass) lost entirely.

Don't listen on a laptop, the speakers are generally crap with 0 bass. I stream mine to an Xbox which goes through an amp, woofer and surround speakers.

Actually I have brilliant tiny BOSE speakers I attach to my laptop so I get great sound but it's still not as good as it should be. I qualify this by saying my poor ears are shot to shit after decades of maximum studio volume and those bloody earbuds for my Walkman (I think I had the first in Britain - bought on a trip to Tokyo 50 years ago).
