Okay I just updated the poll, go ahead and vote!

 

[thedreampolice]

Why is vinyl not an option?

 

[Fade]

Because I just want to know about mp3's and cd's right now!

 

[thedreampolice]

I will never buy another CD ever again. Its just to easy to lose. And with both the Apple icloud stuff and the Amazon MP3 store I can redownload my purchases if anything happens to them!

What about having a physical copy of an album? The nostalgia? I'll put vinyl in the poll, I'm guessing you're gonna vote that?

 

[DJ Excellence]

-I like the convenience of MP3 (easy to buy singles, goes straight to my computer, etc ...)

-I like CD's because they're physical and "safer" (aka no computer crash).

 

[wrightboy]

i like the convenience of mp3s, but hate the sound quality (itunes). i usually buy the cd, and rip them myself. if i do download, i download from amazon. much better quality than itunes, although i think apple just upped there bitrate.

Okay good answers so far.

What about vinyl? Would you buy vinyl to support the artist if you really like the music?

 

[thedreampolice]

yea I buy a fair share of vinyl, but for listening MP3 is my choice by far!

 

[Relic]

Buy???? I produce....

 

[dacalion]

I don't buy new vinyl because we don't have a place here that carries it. If I spend money on anything, it will be a CD and the first thing I do is copy it and store it on a hard drive. Then I have the option to put it on my mp3 player, a thumbdrive, my phone or whatever.

Sadly, CD's are on their way out and will eventually die once they figure out how to make equal quality mp3's. Actually I think that mp3's are keeping CD's alive but for marketing purposes, CD and mp3 are the way to go for now.

Ok, this solidifies it! You are the biggest geek I know....by far! lol

Vinyl if it's available, otherwise I don't mind spending money on an mp3 to support the artist.

Thats already done, any MP3 above 256k you cant hear a difference.
Have you ever had a CD get broken or lost? Both Amazon and Apple have solved this. And in all honesty I use my MOG subscription more than anything else at $9.95 a month for unlimited music I am good to go!

 

[DJ Excellence]

Sadly I don't buy vinyl anymore for various reasons:

-It's too expensive.
-Can't bring my "real" DJ setup wherever I go.
-less and less choice as far as Hip Hop goes.

Its not done until the market is saturated with it! You're still number 1 on my geek list though.

Nope. still have all of my original CDs...most of my cassettes too.
