Lembrar Adorno, a propósito do ouvinte/consumidor de mp3

«The mp3 fetishizes and makes use of the imperfections of healthy hearing while presuming a so-called normal listening situation. The ideal listener implied by the mp3’s psychoacoustic coding is Theodor Adorno’s nightmare: the ‘distracted’ consumer of mass culture (2002[1938], 1993[1945]). In a media-saturated environment, portability and ease of acquisition trumps monomaniacal attention» (Sterne, 2006: 836)
