Good points Ritchie however here is the thing. First off, my point is that mp3's are inferior in sound quality to hard medias so if you care about the sound and quality you are going to want to avoid mp3's. Secondly, as far as being nowhere near a record store, Amazon has very competitive prices and shipping charges are nominal, especially if you buy at certain quantities. I implore music lovers everywhere to support cd and vinyl sales as much as possible before your options become limited and you wake up to realize what you have lost. Thx,

I support CDs but was happy to replace my vinyl collection. While mp3s have a theoretical quality loss due to compression, I wonder can it be heard and does it matter. It reminds me of the arguments in favor of tube amps vs. transistors. Personally, I like the jewel cases and booklets that come with CDs but understand that some services provide the booklets digitally with some downloads. Also the price point of mp3 downloads isn't low enough to justify doing the labelsโ work. _________________ Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by RFNAPLES Bubbling Under The Top 100 Greatest Music Albums, Part 1 by RFNAPLES
I just got a record player and a bunch of LPs for my birthday and I love to just set up a record and listen to it play. Although CDs are more practical, its really nice to have both. And when it comes to mp3 or a hard copy, I much prefer the hard copy. _________________ "The future is unwritten."

yeah, there's less $ in digital music that's for sure.. but even as musician myself, i think that's a good thing
for instance, it annoyed me to hear lily allen complaining that she'd only made ยฃ50,000 off her debut album and that the stones et al in the 70s made a killing.. the crash in the industry will hopefully force would be gravy-train hoppers into considering ruining some other art form for the sake of their bank balances
also, the live music industry is booming, so it may force a greater emphasis on actual musical talent rather than sheer production value _________________ no fat chicks
Perhaps some musicians have received more financial rewards than they deserved. But I'd hate to see the day when we only have amateur musicians. Professional musicians have the ability to develop their craft all day long, without the worry of spending time on another job to make ends meet. We must continue to support our musicians. _________________ Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by RFNAPLES Bubbling Under The Top 100 Greatest Music Albums, Part 1 by RFNAPLES
