Quoted from lpeters82:I still buy used CDs. For me it's the cheapest way of legally owning the music.
Now there are services like Apple Music where you can pay $10/mo and download any song right to your hard drive. No physical media to junk up the house and you legally own the songs you want. You don't even have to get the whole album. It's up for debate whether or not that's a good thing.
Quoted from lpeters82:Don't you have to keep paying the $10 per month in order to have rights to the music? My understanding is if you stop paying you instantly loose all legal rights to the downloaded songs. Additionally if the service is terminated by Apple, you'd be in the same situation. You are paying a subscription fee to have rights to listen to those songs. The downloading gives you the ability to listen while offline, but unlike a CD it doesn't actually give you the right to keep those songs in perpetuity.
Good question. I don't actually subscribe to the service. My wife does, but I doubt she read the terms and conditions either haha.
Quoted from ultimategameroom:Legacy formats rule!
1) cassettes
2) DAT tapes
3) vinyl
4) laserdisc
5)cd/dvd/blue ray
Most of my gear is circa 1988-1999 and the sound quality crushes compressed formats on a real stereo system. Yes I know it’s not portable but I don’t care about that. People are blown away when I play them well know music on my basement system. “I never heard or noticed all the details “is the most common response.
What? No CRT projector?
