I also think that 99c a track is still too much, no cheaper to buy an album worth of tracks and I don't even get a disc. real cds still sound better than downloads a home, of course i still enjoy my vinyl collection as well so I'm a throwback > of course i still have a 2 channel pioneer system sitting here in front of me pioneer amp bose 2.1 bookshelf speakers, technics turntable ect lol :) > > On Nov 15, 2010, at 1:32 AM, Neil Barnfather - TalkNav wrote: > >> Ricardo, >> >> for me its the quality of the compression from the download that is the issue that keeps me buying CD's. >> >> When I can get a download at a higher rate, up in the 700kbps range I'll be happier, and one that let's me download the item within reason as many times as I like, unlike Apple. >> >> At this time most downloads are 320kbps or less, often less, and yet I rip in double this. >> >> can I hear the difference, not always, but often yes, granted not on my iPhone headset, but on a good quality home entertainment system, or keeping with the spirit of the conversation of cars, in the back of my Merc S Classs yes, it certainly is notable. >> >> Its essential that the download providers get their act together and up the quality of the download, and allow me to download my collection say at least twice a year or so in case I accidently delete something. >> >> once I can do this I'll switch to downloads only. >> >> >> On 14 Nov 2010, at 07:57, Ricardo Walker wrote: >> >> Its all ready changing. People aren't buying CDs anymore. I dare you to find a record store. lol. 15 years ago, they were everywhere. The majority of people download music. By next year, music albums downloaded, will pass albums sold in stores. the change is coming. People will cling to the CD like they clung to the cassette tape. But once people stop building the hardware to play them, people will have no choice but to move on. >> >> Ricardo Walker >> [email protected] >> Twitter, Skype, and AIM: rwalker296 >> Google Voice: 1-646-450-2197 >> >> >> >> On Nov 13, 2010, at 4:47 PM, Chenelle Hancock wrote: >> >>> >>> hi, heather, eric, sara and everyone on the list >>> I have to say that for over eighteen years or so i have been using cd's as my mode of music choice. however, it has only been the past eight months or so that i have getting my music through itunes and transferring my music library of over 500 cd's to my computer. i still have them all though. due to the fact i still infer that technology can crash at anytime and you have to have a back up to your back up. if you know what i mean. also i have relatives who are still in the age of the stereo system/ cd player age. so when we have party's we often use someof my cd's to listen to etc... >>> i don't think that cd's will go out of date as fast as tape did back in the late to mid eighty's and early nineties. despite the fact that i have saved some of my music to my external hard drive i have not stored all of it as of yet. but i do plann on doing so. >>> chenelle >>> >>> Sent from my iPhone >>> >>> -- >>> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. >>> To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >>> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. >>> For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. >>> >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. >> To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. >> For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. >> >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. >> To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. >> For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. >> > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
