I am about 70 miles from a place where I can buy music that isn't mass-produced crap. I went to Wal-Mart today hoping and praying that they might have the new Hold Steady or even The Replacements, but no. They did not. They had My Morning Jacket, but I don't think I like that band too much.
Rural Missouri sucks.

That is why George W. Bush invented the internets.

I've bought some stuff from Amazon MP3, but I generally burn CDs anyway, which meant I wasn't really saving much.

I would have accepted "People still have VCR's?" as an analogy.GatewaySnayke wrote:People still drive cars?Popeye_Card wrote:People still buy cd's?
I seriously haven't even browsed a CD section since 2002. I thought most everyone got their music via interweb sources.

I wasn't using it as an analogy, I was saying that I (and a lot of other people) buy CDs for our automobiles.Popeye_Card wrote:I would have accepted "People still have VCR's?" as an analogy.GatewaySnayke wrote:People still drive cars?Popeye_Card wrote:People still buy cd's?

Isn't it cheaper to burn mp3's to CD's? That's what I've always done. Until I hard-wired my iPod anyway.GatewaySnayke wrote:I wasn't using it as an analogy, I was saying that I (and a lot of other people) buy CDs for our automobiles.Popeye_Card wrote:I would have accepted "People still have VCR's?" as an analogy.GatewaySnayke wrote:People still drive cars?Popeye_Card wrote:People still buy cd's?

Not really enough more to cover the hassle, cost of blanks, storage mechanism, and the fact that you don't get pretty discs or liner notes.Popeye_Card wrote:Isn't it cheaper to burn mp3's to CD's? That's what I've always done. Until I hard-wired my iPod anyway.
