i'll never pay for a digital download. the concept of this
is beyond me and will remain a mystery to me forever.

so to answer your question, i don't give a toss.

Why not?

I still want to buy CDs and all, but I feel kind of stupid
and uselessly materialistic doing that.

Well, I suppose it's less materialistic and perhaps even
better for the environment to purchase digital cds. I admit
I love great cd artwork though, it adds something palpable
to the experience, I'm not sure why. It also sucks when your
harddrive gets fried and you had been putting off burning cd
hard-copies of your mp3s as you didn't know that a harddrive
was liable or even likely to fry. Hehe, I'm talking
about myself of course, and it's a good bit my fault for
only converting about 10% of the music I'd purchased on the
web (mostly from small labels) to cd, but losing any data in
a harddrive crash sucks, especially music you can't easily
or cheaply replace. Granted, physical cds are vulnerable to
scratching and wear over time, so they aren't the solution
either. I'll shut up now. :)

well i'd bought more old bleep/warp stuff like drexciya &
elektroids if it wasnt 192kbit. i still dont understand why
warp aint repressing those 2 records. i mean, i'm sure
they's sell more of drexciya/elektroids than most of their
latest releases.

i know music is abstract but with mp3s i miss the
artwork/credits. all those things you can read while
listening to LPs (+ huge artworks)

I think CD's suck. If I buy a material format for music I
want vynil. Its special to me. Like a nice vintage adidas
track suit.

yeah I like vinyls too, but I've never had a collection to
speak of, just a few rare lps from bands/musicians I like as
more of a collectors thing. I don't actually play them,
though I have a record player at my parents house waiting
for me should I ever want it. It's just that there aren't
really any good shops in my area that carry warp/skam/etc
vinyls, as far as I know.
