Call them what you may -- music snobs, “audiophiles” (though this term is often misused in this sense), headphone jockeys. The point of the matter is, all of us probably have an overly enthusiastic music fan on our gift lists this holiday season. No longer will you be buying the music lovers in your life random CDs from the Best Buy recommendations rack. No, Speakeasy just won’t allow it.
