I believe it's bad. It's making all of music more generic.

There's composers and producers with quite high production values, very complex and intricate music, the kind you want to pay attention to, in order to get the most out of it.

But I don't listen to that music all day. I got other music for background.

In my view the latter is not more valuable because I listen to it for more minutes.

When it was CDs I'd pay roughly the same for my Autechre as my Kruder & Dorfmeister.
