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.


Meant to say that you could be right here also - I find this album *very*
vinyl-like indeed.

It has that sense of 'real' and 'immediate' that I expect (and get) from
vinyl and also why I tend to prefer a CDR made from an LP to the 'straight
CD' equivalent....

(OK, there's mastering differences too and I've got plenty of vinyl where a
vocoder has been used.....)
