I hope that changes in the next few years, because the truth is a lot of people spend more time listening to music on their computers than they do on their iPods. And the reason is simple. We’re online ALL THE TIME. Between email, facebook, and YouTube, people are beginning to spend more time in front of the computer than anywhere else.

And for many of us, we like to listen to tunes while we’re plugging away at the keyboard. But if you care about high quality audio at all, you know those lousy speakers built into your monitor or laptop all but destroy your music. All they do is make the audio recognizable so you can say, “Oh yeah…I (thought I) like this song”.

If you care about the quality of your music, do yourself a favor and pick up a decent set of speakers. You’ll learn to enjoy your music a LOT more. And if you play games, you’ll really appreciate the deeper bass an actual set of speakers will give you.
