Do you still buy physical albums?

emosissy · 11-19-2012, 04:02 PM

I've downloaded in the past because I was unable to locate a hard copy in my area or online, but otherwise, I buy everything hard copy. Mainly because I like having the artwork / liner notes to look at, and because I find it more enjoyable to flip through my CD binders than to browse files on my computer. Though I will say that I do use youtube a lot to preview music before buying the hard copy, and I just recently started ripping my CD's so that I can listen on my computer at work.

I hold vinyl rather sacred. I'd never steal vinyl. I'm still looking for Murder City Devils Thelema EP if anyone wants to hook a brother up.

Hell to the yeah... just did an inventory of it all the other day...I am missing 10... fortunately 9 are replaceable... Closer (original pressing... not so much...)

I would kill my ex if he weren't in jail...

let me put it this way the memories that go with finding it and buying it and loving it are not replaceable...

I buy CDs because I'm too afraid I'll lose the MP3s. If I do get MP3s, I buy them from iTunes for my iPad and am too lazy to see if I can back them up.
