I bought this for the artwork. I get all my music off the internet like most people, though.

I buy old LPs when I have money to spend (they're quite expensive: €34.00 a piece.) If you have a good system they just sound waaaay better than CDs or the 192 kbps MP3s you can get off the internet.

[el badman]

I have never purchased mp3s, I still buy CDs on a regular basis, I would not even be able to enjoy any of it without the complete artwork and having to insert the disc in my stereo.

Very rarely these days, though I did buy my friend's album at his launch.

There is something really pure and clean about vinyl, when compared to their digital counterparts, cd's. Of course mp3's really suck when you compare it to the original. Mp3's cut away sounds that the human ear can't hear well, but when you are listening to the cd version you may hear something that you didn't hear in the mp3. Even mp3's converted back into audio cd's sound better in my car. There is just so much more depth, even though there shouldn't be, since it's being converted from an mp3 and won't increase the quality.

Wait, you can buy music?

Man, what won't they sell these days?

[Lamrock]

Nope. I own 4 albums.

[Fresh8]

I do. I just bought 808s and Heartbreak and felt ripped off because I'm not feeling it. I also got Ne-Yo's new album which was decent because I still listening to it... I want to buy Trey Songz' new album when it comes out but I'm not going to buy it online and music stores don't have it here in Brisbane... well, I haaven't seen it.

[Lamrock]

Give 808's and Heartbreak a few spins. I thought it was atrocious at first, but I've grown to quite like it. A new song clicks each time I hear it.

[JaoSming]

I still buy them, just dont use them. I dont sell them back but once they got on one of my ipods/360/itunes/cassette the disc doesnt get much use

Recent Ones:
Jurassic 5 - J5 (Deluxe Edition)
Disturbed - Indestructible
Ostrich Head - Nice Try



Recommended ones:
Papa Roach - Infest
ACDC - Blow Up your Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8TsyrNW ... playnext=1


Ill add more tomorrow when I'm back at work were my music rests

I did admittedly listen to it a few times on the ipod today. I attribute it to the fact I'm feeling what he's feeling on the album in real life to a lesser extent. Some songs I can listen to. It's not as bad as I thought but it's just not Kanye for me... I want him to be like what he was in College Dropout. That was good stuff.

[Doobie]

My reasons for cd's is to bump them in a car or in my stereo. Plus I support artists, and might find a couple hidden gems within the album.

albums in my car:

John Legend- Get Lifted
Common- Be
Eminem- The Eminem Show
Alicia Keys- The Diary of Alicia Keys
Usher- Confessions
Black Eyed Peas- Elephunk

i actually contemplated buying the deluxe edition of the new Game album to get the bonus songs but i didn't wind up buying it.
