Does anyone buy CD's even though they have a MP3 Player?

Hello. Even though MP3's are here to stay (at least until a better digital format become mainstream) There is something that MP3's will never be able to replace something that only CD's or sweet delicious vinal can provide. I'm talking about things like Large CD cover art, Booklets, and promotional material.

Plus CD's would often have lyric sheets and special hidden material such as hidden tracks or even video or interviews if you would put it into a PC.

I love my MP3's and my i-pod as well but I will always love opening a plastic case that I found after hunting it dwon in the basement level of my favorite record store hearing that click as i opened it and the aroma that the booklets had. I miss seeing the group photos of Marilyn Manson or the surreal cover art of Nine Inch Nails.

I miss the hands on feel and the extras included. thoughts? One thing I don't miss is CD players good riddance

Yup, I like the highest quality songs on my computer. WAV>>>>>MP3

not only that I have a 6 disc CD changer in my car.

Me.

I like having the physical thing instead of just some words on a screen.

I enjoy having something physical to look at .Travo_basic

Do you have any of their other albums? I saw them live, without knowing who they were. They were insane live. Too bad I haven't listened to them in ages.sammyjenkis898

are you using itunes 320? or something like that.. if your not using LAME with a program like exact audio copy.. then your mp3's wont sound optimal.. the hardcore audiophiles at hydrogenaudio forums agree that V0 MP3 ( variable 256 kbps ) is transparent, some argue V2 even is.. and agree that 320 even is for the hardcore that just want to know they have high bitrate.. you can use abx tests to see if you really hear the difference or just think you do.nimatoad2000

here is a great chart for you

as you can see V0 is the sweet spot.

Buy them, then rip them to WAV or FLAC, itunes has low quality music... or did they change that recently? They used/have 128 kb/s mp3... yuckJigglyWiggly_
