How much music do you have on your computer?

Re: How much music do you have on your computer?

What?

Now customers can just buy albums (or single songs, for that matter) at the iTunes Store. Places like Tower Records are going out of business because of stuff like this (that and illegal downloading, but this isn't helping them).

You're defending stores that sell CD's for 14-17.99 a piece?

So? It's called progress.

OH NO!! Record stores certainly haven't helped their fate and it's more convenient to buy songs at home rather than traveling to some store anyway.

Also, there is nothing stopping these record stores from forming their own online stores to rival Apple's. Amazon did it.

I don't care about the CD business. That's just a standard example of technology making the old way obsolete. Apple/iTunes has done a whole bunch for the music industry as whole.

Maybe if Tower Records sold CD's cheaper than iTunes it would earn more business. Darwinism rules.

Take care,

Re: How much music do you have on your computer?

I had around 50GB, but I recently trimmed it down to around 38gb. The thing is...I'm always looking for new music to listen to and when I find an artist I like...I want to have everything they have done. So it can pile up pretty quickly. But I did delete a bunch of stuff that I just really wasn't feeling.

But I still like listening to my songs in my car. Granted, I have an FM Transmitter for my iPod, but I still like CD's.

For less than the cost of a CD you can burn a downloaded album to a blank CD (and never have to leave the house).

You do know that there are these newfangled things called cd burners, right?

There's still something about actually owning the CD that I really like, I don't know what it is. It's like if I have the opportunity to burn a free movie On Demand to a DVD or buy it... I'd rather buy it. Again, something about the authenticity really brings it all home for me.
