when you say you have a CD collection, do you mean that you have the real thing, or just the mp3s burnt? i think if you just have the mp3s, you should state that. anybody and everybody can download hundreds of mp3s (and have done so for the last two years or more), so what is the point in bragging about that? i think that is different from actually collecting the original cds and vinyl. |

I have like maybe 20 mp3's... the rest is the real cd... maybe if I had a bigger harddrive I would download more, but I don't so I buy... |

yeah, most of my mp3s on this computer are ripped, because i have a 28.8 modem still. grr. but i usually talk about owning them. other wise i say "i have a burnt copy" or something of the like. |

I still have a collection of over 750 cassettes. And now I don't even have a player in my car. I have a lot of cds and mp3s. I spend a lot of money just buying the cd of what I already have on cassette. It's a collector's trap. I will always buy the real thing cause of the collecting value. The album art and liner notes and such. |

i feel that i should only get trax on mp3 that r difficult to obtain in CD or vinyl units. that's y i'm waiting for the new autechre untitled EP to come out on CD to hear it. i am convinced that it is somehow more satisfying that way. |

yeah, mp3 quality is usually no where near as good as cd... |

I love the whole idea of trying to search for an extremely rare cd or 12". It makes collecting so much more satisfying. |

I love treasure hunting. |

I totally think it is... it really makes for a great listening experiene when you wait for it to come out, go to the store to buy it, and listen to it on the way home, or when you get home... it's great... the anticipation is great... |

yeah, it's like opening christmas presents before christmas in a sense |

There is nothing like going to a record store and unexpectedly finding something you have been searching a long time for.....it's one of those special moments. :) |

yes man, it is... I remember when I got Surfing on Sine Waves... you have to understand that it's really hard to get IDM here, and so for me to find this cd in a store here was really something... I went to the store, and the guy there pointed it out to me... I was like "Sweet!!!"... I think he wanted to buy it, but he shouldn't have pointed it out to me... :) |

real thing, these mp3s are getting pretty addictive though, i still don't count them though. |

The only bad part is that I always justify using a credit card for the purchase. Like it is an emergency. |

i was of course referring my last comment to downloading the mp3 of the trax b4 they are released on CD or vinyl |

If I can hear the music, I OWN the music. Maybe I was a thief in a past life, but I don't give a shit about owning the actual albums anymore. If I have the MP3, or have a CD-R of an album, I ''own'' the album. As long as I can listen to it... I have thousands and thousands of dollars worth of CDs, but I haven't bought one in months, I'm now 100% MP3/CD-R. As for the ''bragging'' thing, I don't brag about my MP3s, nor would I brag about if I had the actual CDs... I don't really care about that, they're both the same to me. I don't care about buying it or the materials the album is made of, I just want the sound. And a good MP3 bitrate is almost perfect, the difference is neglibible... of course a 64 or 128er will sound noticeably worse... That's cool that buying the real thing gives you a charge, but I've bought CDs before, I know what it's like... the feeling is the same when I get something off Soulseek or Audiogalaxy. Plus, I save 20 bucks to spend on treats and shit instead of an album. :-) |

Zombiekev mentioned hiding stuff in cd stores. I hide my stuff in the Tejano/Spanish section. Here in Texas, every store has this section, but nobody ever messes with it, so my stuff is relatively safe. Right now I have Praga Khan (Mutant Funk), Miles Davis (Bitch's Brew), Biohazard and Die Warsau hidden. |

I have to side with Ophecks; MP3/CD-Rs are the the way to go. I do collect the CDs, but I have no objection to the CD-R, either. I don't have all the money in the world; I just need the music! I don't own a record player, so anything on vinyl I need in mp3 form. And then so many things are rare, or extremely expensive. Ordering from the 'net is timely and shipping and handling is murder sometimes. And then on top of all this, I hate Jewel cases. I keep all my discs in books and binders--none of those miserable, plastic contraptions for me. Suppose I need to load three CDs in a hurry--I don't have time to fumble through stacks and stacks of Jewel cases! |
