Do you still listen to cd's ?

[mendyweiss]

<p>Between my sat/radio in my car and my ipod at home I haven't listened to a cd in about a year !!</p><p>I look at the cd burner icon on my desktop and say&quot;sorry pal, your time has passed !</p>

[A.J.]

I still listen to <em>albums</em>.

I burned all my CD's to my hard drive I havent listened to a CD via a CD player in forever. I also havent listened to a complete album all the way through in a long time either

Do you prefer CD's or tapes?

[MrPink]

<p>Nope, it's a lot easier to steal songs off the internet than to steal a CD from FYE.</p>

[FUNKMAN]

yes - in the car and in the house to play along with the songs on my guitar

If you're like me and don't care about quality, then try to sell them. I'm sure there is still a market for them. Just make sure you back up your library on DVDs or a portable drive. You will have far fewer discs to store. </p>

Occasionally, but I always rip any CDs I buy the minute I get home.&nbsp; I had stopped listening to albums all the way through, but the last year I've started doing that again.

What's a CD?

[TheMojoPin]

Of course.&nbsp; MP3's and iPods are useful, but they sound like shit 99% of the time when compared to CD audio.

[bobrobot]

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong><font color="#000080">I detest the sound of mp3s, they are so harsh &amp; devoid of tonality,&nbsp;funny how Hi Tech has become associated w/ lo fi. I still listen to&nbsp;LPs, an enormous collection of 78s (pretty lo fi, espesh the acoustically recorded 1s, but there's a vibe that comes w/ listening to them), and remastered CDs. MP3s have only 1 redeeming factor IMO, portability &amp;&nbsp;more often than not&nbsp;that ain't enuff 4 me! I like info to read about what I'm listening to as well. I guess someday they'll have that all bundled up and available to view on the player, or as a holographic display, or sent directly into the brain.</font></strong></p><p><strong><font color="#000080">Nada Brahma = Sound is God.</font></strong></p><p><img src="http://www.kamalkapoor.com/puja/images/saraswati.jpg" border="0" alt="Saraswathi" title="Saraswathi" width="255" height="350" /></p>

[Marc with a c]

yes. quite often

[Dan G]

I still buy CD's, but immediately rip them to my external hd and listen to them that way when I'm using my computer. I refuse to download music unless an artist authorizes it on their own web site.

[Sarge]

<p>I still listen to cds, mostly in my truck.&nbsp; I do get stuck listening to my kids Luarie Berkner cds more than mine however.</p>

[Furtherman]

Not as much as I use to.&nbsp; But I blame my shitty cd player for that.

[SinA]

CD's nuts.

<p><strong><font face="courier new,courier" size="2">Yes.</font></strong></p><p><strong><font face="Courier New" size="2">Of course, my first stereo had an 8-track tape player.</font></strong></p>

No...thats crazy talk.

Then I have to search through my playlist for one I want to listen to, and it's not necessarily easy to find because I have to ask myself: &quot;Am I in the mod for that song?&quot; It's just much easier for me to say - &quot;I'm in the mood for X album.&quot; I feel like if you don't download every song on an album, you're sort of missing part of the artistic message.&nbsp; </p>

in the car and in the shower

[weekapaugjz]

i still enjoy my cd's, and like to buy new ones at this great record store i frequent often which carries a lot of obscure stuff compared to anywhere else i've seen.&nbsp; i love the quality of cd's over mp3's.&nbsp; i listen to them a bunch in my car, i do a lot of driving.&nbsp; i like listening to the whole album than individual songs.&nbsp; the only songs i download are singles here and there but will never download a full album.&nbsp; i also pick up a lot of my cd's from the shows i go to, so i know the money is going more into the hands of the artist than into the greedy corporations.

[riverofpiss]

I still buy cd's of artists that I like or even a new band that I like.&nbsp; I use the my XM and the internet to discover alot of new music but if I find something I like I buy the album if it is possible.&nbsp;

[furie]

i've bought a few cd's this year, but i just copy them on to my HD and listen to them as mp3's on itunes or the ipod.

[RoseBlood]

<p>Yes.. and there are certain CD's, where each song seems like&nbsp;the perfect&nbsp;pathway to the next song, and therefore I have to listen in its entirety.</p><p>*edit* I wrote that before I scrolled up and read Gvac and Narc's posts. I wholeheartedly agree. For many &quot;albums&quot; to listen to only 1 or 2 songs would be like going to a movie just for the opening and closing credits.</p>

I still burn CD's because they're so cheap now, even though theyre mp3 cds, but I usually burn like a few new albums i want to listen to , and throw in a few older albums on the cd .&nbsp; As far as buying a CD,,, no.

[nassue]

<p>still buy cds still and listen to each one all the way through</p><p>OnA in the morning, short cd until RonandFez then&nbsp;two cds until the end of the work day&nbsp;then freefm in the evenings</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>i refuse to buy the ipod or a cell phone </p><p>i'm a technological pariah&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
