Despite giving its album for free three months ago, British rockers Radiohead are topping the charts this week with the CD version of their new album “In Rainbows.” New York Times’ Jeff Leeds joins us with the story.
You were just talking about the subtle extra sounds on the Jeff Buckley record that wasn't heard on one version versus another...
This is something I was thinking about when listening to my downloaded mp3 version of In Rainbows. Because of the care and amount of work they put into the layers of sound, I wondered if I was missing anything with the mp3 version...
I haven't listened to the CD version yet but, as I usually buy CDs before mp3s, and was thinking of buying the CD because there may be more levels of sound. Is there any considerable amount of difference..?
