i say bring back minidiscs, they can hold the same amount of lossless audio as a cd, they can be rewritten or dubbed with portable players; and fit in your pockets like cassettes, they’re cheap and easy to replace…

but in terms of wanting to hold my media like a trophy… i have my ext. hdd to keep on a shelf

Bring back cassettes. They could fit in my pocket.

I think physical media will always have a place in our world of exchanging music for money. CDs will of course eventually become old and impractical, and perhaps it already has. Still, people buy them and they flourish, just like LPs still do. So I think that announcing the death of CDs is a little self-pretentious if not even slightly stupid. After all: Who would ever want a computer in their home?

I like to buy CDs even though I have all the technology. A Â£10 CD is way better than an Â£8 download from i-Tunes. When my computer crashes, my files are all over the place or someone steals my laptop, I can kick back in the knowledge that I have the original real deal lying there looking spendid on my bookcase. Lots of the CDs I buy are for a fiver too.

If we must start buying music online, can they drop MP3 or give me the option of lossless formats like APE? I wish.

To limit the expression of an artist.

So now,We don’t get artwork with our music,we get a bloody jpeg.

And the majors WANT this badly.It’s practically 0$ in overhead for them,

And nothing but profit.

Like I care about them anyway..

and CD TEXT so you know which track is which… or did they add that by now? I wouldn’t know…
