I listen to AM the same way now that I did when I first found this besainted site oh so long ago: Mac running some flavor of OSX via iTunes. At one point, for one miserable afternoon, I was forced, at gunpoint no less(*), to listen to The Moon on an XP system with Winamp. No matter how much we diddled with it, the 128k stream sounded much like the 56k stream. My friend didn't believe that it sounded better on a Mac. I brought my leeeetle laptop over, plugged his speakers in, and queued up a nice long tune (Pär Lindh Project/Mondus Incomprehensidus, or whatever it's called) and did a nice side-by-side comparison.

I'm proud to say that I was actually able to convince him that the Mac sounded superior. He didn't convert (no surprise, as he codes Flash(**) and ColdFusion(***) for a living), but I managed to plant enough doubt in his mind that he's actually considering it as an alternative.

(*) OK, so it was a staple gun and I was helping a friend install some wiring. Work with me here.
