Thread Name: Are CDs Dead?
Subject: RE: Are CDs Dead?
Not at all Martha. It took me a long while to give up albums and surrender to cds. They really are more convenient and easier to store and they eventually won me over. But I held on to a number of albums that I figured would never make it to cd or more often, that I had a sentimental attachment to. So we gave up graphics for convenience, fair enough. Then downloading started and I bucked that because it's about more than the music right? I never would have learned, way back when, that McKinley Morganfield was Muddy Waters if I didn't have liner notes right? And so many lovely covers and graphics. Then, I found that you could find things to download that you'd never find, or afford otherwise, so I started downloading because I did want the music if nothing else. No, I would never put all my music on computer. For that matter, none of it is. It's all hard copies whether it's vinyl, cd, cassette or burned download. It's all a jones and as someone once said, we're only a pawn in their game. Happy collecting Martha!
