I bought the remastered box set the day it came out. It's an insult to the band if you're willing to listen to them on crappy lossy MP3s.

They are idiots for doing that anyway. They deserve to be sued.
|
Sucks for them.

Assuming EMI is in the right here, how stupid could bluebeat be?

I will never purchase another CD, unless it is at a band's merch stand.. and then I likely won't even open it -- it's just to support a band on tour when ever dollar honestly counts (if you've ever been on tour you'd know or have close friends who tour just ask them). In my room, I have a decent set of speakers with a line-in for my 160GB iPod. In my car, I have Cadillac speakers with a line-in for my 160GB iPod. In my pocket, I have a good pair of earbuds with a line-in for my 160GB iPod. In my desk, I have a 1TB hard drive filled with music linked to my 160GB iPod. At no point in my life do I ever need a compact disc. It is a waste of time to convert/tag/organize from a compact disc. It is a waste of resources to print, package, ship, and distribute a compact disc (omg go greenz). I understand not everyone is in my situation, so this isn't a "death to compact discs" .. but to be completely ignorant about the plethora of positive things completely digital music offers is crazy. The iTunes-model isn't perfect, but neither were CDs during their first few years. iTunes and Amazon and the other big players are working to improve on a constant basis. -ACA |

This is true for quite a bit of people, including myself. But personally I need to have a hard copy to put on my shelf, I'm just wierd like that. I'll never use it more then once to rip it to my computer. Some people need to get something physical if they spend money. Plus with iTunes, you can't redownload your purchases, so having hard copies is a nice security blanket. |
Hard copys sound better then digital anyway.

I know everyone doesn’t do that. I just don’t understand why some people are waiting with baited breath for The Beatles cataloged to come out on iTunes… Like why wait for Apple and EMI to work out a deal? If they do it themselves then they’ll have the Mp3’s and the cd’s, that way they can enjoy the artwork and the convenience of digital media. So basically what I’m saying is I like to have it both ways. Yes it’s more work but I think it’s worth it in the end. I know hording a ton of cd’s I have no real use for might not be the most environmentally friendly thing to do but hey… I could be doing worse things like burning trash in my back yard. |
Saw this coming.
