Rant: No Record Stores

[Popeye_Card]

Isn't it cheaper to burn mp3's to CD's? That's what I've always done. Until I hard-wired my iPod anyway.

Not really enough more to cover the hassle, cost of blanks, storage mechanism, and the fact that you don't get pretty discs or liner notes.

I guess it depends on how much you pay for the mp3's.

It rhymes with "hero".

Back when I had no money, I did that, and I've kept all the music, of course, but really, I can afford to pay, so now I do. I dislike the way the recording/copyright system is set up as much as anybody, but contributing nothing is wrong.

You are correct. It is wrong.

But my moral compass is about as broke as ICE's.

I pay for music when I can figure out how to.
Sometimes I can't find a way to pay.

Yeah. That's my excuse too.

i usually will test out new bands via "free" methods...but if i like the band i will buy the cd...i like having a "hard copy", i "like the package" and cd's are really the only thing i "collect"
