Rap, hiphop in general, it has changed and contributed a lot to the music of today, there's no getting around that.

Right on Mari. Also I don't get the sampling = lack of originality argument. The way some rap and hip hop artists use samples to create new pieces of music can be pretty amazing.
Also music is as varied and interesting as it ever was. No one should judge the music scene on what's played on mainstream radio either, that's a pretty small sample of what's going on at the moment. That said there are plenty of current pop tunes I love too.

Back to the point, music has not gone downhill, just Mr Dylan's hearing it seems. There's nothing wrong with the sound quality to my ears. Maybe he needs to invest in a better sound system.
Also if he dislikes CDs so much, I'm here to tell him that a lot of artists still put albums out on vinyl. The White Stripes even send all their review copies out on vinyl only.
