If I could, I'd plug the speaker wires directly into my brain to avoid having the sound pass through imperfect speakers and air molecules. Let's make the music electronic all the way from instrument to audience! :) Actually, that could never be done. Humans can't make any sense from the meaning of a stream of 1's and 0's without some kind of analogue conversion.
I say again (see my previous email) I think that it could eventually be done... i.e "hearing" music without going through speakers and air! How that conversion takes place (analogue / digital) I have no idea. Look up cochlea implants ... then think of the future... :o))) BTW this "bionic" type technology is also being performed with "eyes".. so one will be able to "see" without having any "light" ;o))) (I believe that Stevie Wonder is currently acting as guinea pig for this technology) Keep Werking John www.keepwerking.co.uk
