CD. or, indeed tape. I recently bought a tape deck from the '70s. CDs last. MP3 players and computers in general don't. Example? Why, I have a fair few Flaming Lips CDs second hand from late 80s/early nineties. So long as you look after them, and the previous owners have, they will still play. Gerald has almost died. I've had him for about two years. In that time, the computer had to be revamped, so if I got a new mp3 player, i'd have to go through the whole process again of uploading CDs blah blah... Plus, i'm a very visual person. I like simply viewing my CDs in storage. Easy to access, visible. You simply don't get that with an mp3 player. it's just a list of artists, half of them out of the wrong place (leaving "the" out of the band's name etc). heigh-ho. CD ordering gives my crazy life some order to it. Infact, they're the only thing in my room, apart from gig tickets, which have an order to them. CD. But i'd use an mp3 or two to get into a band. to test them. myspace baby! _________________ She is handsome, she is pretty, she is the girl from Belfast City, she is courtin' one two three, please won't you tell me who is she?

CDs - the real deal, plus backup if needed. it's hard for me to keep track of the songs i buy online, let alone back them up properly... just easier for me to have the real deal. _________________ Saellys wrote: Thank God for Arielle all your kind, they're coming clean they shut their eyes their mess, their scene |

Sorry for digging up an old thread.. I think it's a bad thing as far as I'm concerned. I need to feel like I actually own the music, sort to speak. Having an MP3 just doesn't cut it for me. On the flipside though, it's a great way for unknown musicians to get their stuff out there. The need for a record label also decreases. It's probably cheaper for the artists as well. _________________ Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness. |

Also sadly I sometimes will not buy the cd because it is more expensive than the mp3 download of it. But my music collection is pretty much 50/50 both so I don't feel too horrible. |

I burn copies and make handmade packaging if I'm about to play a show where I might have a chance to sell some merch. The overwhelming majority of my listeners are from Europe thanks to putting my stuff on Jamendo, and I'm pretty much unmarketable in the U.S., so there's no point bothering with duplication and jewel cases and full color printing right now. Every penny I've made off my music has come through the Internet. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

Don't understand that sentence. _________________ Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness. |

With the except of the Fire Kite EP, which I bought just to get the free lithograph, and had in fact already bought on iTunes, I haven’t bought a CD in at least five years. I haven’t bought a DVD in a year and a half. I’m pretty much 100% iTunes these days. And while a jewel case and inserts are nice in theory, I don’t actually use them at all, but I also can’t bring myself to throw them away. I’m much better off never having them, especially since I do the majority of my music listening sitting at my computer playing directly from iTunes. |
