Personally I'd think, "Hey nice, now I can spend my time and money on stuff like, say, food. And travel. Etc." would trump said feeling several times over. At least that's how *I* feel!

600 Records = 6 months Club Play. I'm paid to change each song.
26,000 MP3's = 16 years of home listening. Software changes song for free

having said that, i certainly don't look back fondly on the time and money involved. i would be much happier if i had found them all in someone's basement for free. free records are the best. soon followed by records for a quarter, records for fifty cents, records for a dollar, etc.

exactly HOW LONG has the death of vinyl been predicted? i still think vinyl production will outlive CD production.

the wall of wax (great pics btw) just makes me think about the pointlessness of accumulation & the inevitability of death. at least mp3's are already virtually nothing.

2. CDs are teh worst. As in, I have more problems with CDs and their players than I have ever had with any of my vinyl, new or used, or my record players. Obviously, I get why CDs can be truly excellent in certain situations.
3. IPods suck the joy out of music simply because of their awful interface. I can't deal with that shit-- scrolling scrolling scrolling accidentally touch something with the nub of your finger and fuck the song's changed and it's totally jarring. Unless I win one in some contest, I can't see myself ever owning one.
4. Since people relate to music and music-as-object in different ways, any sort of argument here is sort of silly. I like records and mp3s and tapes. You might not. But we might listen to the same things and feel similarly about them. So what is the debate about? Nobody's going to stop buying records, and the plants will keep making them as long as there is some demand. At least in other parts of the world.

Also, tho an orchestra conductor might have some cred in the matter, your audiophile friend likes Sting. Cred = eliminated, in my mind.
I FUCKING HATE SHUFFLE GODDAMNIT.
― trees (treesessplode), Friday, 18 August 2006 05:13 (seventeen years ago) link
Sting is very popular at those shows; I was almost seduced by something off Ten Summoner's Tales on a Kuzma Stogi, it sounded so bleedin' lovely.
Vinyl is a bit of treat, a more serious purchase (though I'm not one of those audiophiles who think the sound is inherently superior); CDs I tend to think - oh, I can always dump this on eBay somewhere down the line if it's disappointing. I haven't sold a vinyl record for 13 years, whereas we've slimmed our CD collection by 10-15% in the last year. If the vinyl doesn't fit, buy more storage; if the CDs don't fit, junk some CDs.

I thought you already had a copy of that (amazing) Debris rec, Scott! I remember it showed up a couple of years ago on somebody-or-other's long list. No, NOT the NWW list - more like "What's the rarest album you own?" or some such.
If not yours, maybe it was Stormy's list I'm thinking of...

iTunes pretty much reproduces the exact same thing on your computer fwiw (enqueue? no, that song is switching RIGHT NOW!) and it would drive me INSANE if I had to use it.
I do like my iPod nano though... I'd like it more if it actually had BASS (fucking Apple) but it's functional enough for the price.
I only just started buying vinyl again heh. I covet vinyl collections too, if only because I feel people with them have more foresight & wisdom than I do. I have no problems with CD's though... I'm pretty (anally) careful with them though.
