As an example, I have uploaded this track.....

...(actually a CD rip, selected only for its modest filesize) of the sort of
thing which sounds perfectly OK from the computer setup but, even though it
is only a 128MP3 (I'm recording at better bitrates these days) it sounds
really quite fine when burned to CDR/RW as an audio CD and played over my
audio setup proper.

I think the reason this track sounds so nice is that her voice has
been recorded straight, with no autotune turning it into a vocoder. I
suspect that this is the big difference you hear between vinyl and CD
generally - most vinyl predates that kind of messing.

It really is quite nice to hear somebody singing naturally with the
odd out-of-tune note here and there.

Who is it, BTW? - shades of Suzanne Vega there...
