Good point Steve. Glad you were finally able to make one.

As a replacement for vinyl or cassettes, when you aren's going for the complete collection, a lot of the boxed sets are a good deal. If the artist makes a killing on it, so what? If I were doing the Dylan thing, I'd buy the boxed set and about 3 other albums and have a pretty reasonable sampling.

Some of the sets are really excellent and pretty complete. Some give you a good sense of an artists periods....I think of the Paul Simon 3 CD set here. Nothing stops you from adding additional albums.
