Old school...

It's been a while since my last post, as I've given the "Device dilemma" topic some serious thougt. What I've realized is that I don't believe in the MP3 phenomenon. Sure it's great to have your music on your harddisk or on your iPod, but I am of the Old School people that want a CD in my hand when I buy music. If I then afterwards decide to listen to my audio from my CD or from digital audio files stored on my computer, that is altogether irrelevant. Buying digital music from online stores such as iTunes or any other does not appeal to me. I want my music on a retail CD. Buying digital encoded media files, just feels like buying a bottle with plain breathable air.

Over then to the issue of lost media. What happens if my stored music I've bought is destroyed if my HD crashes or an MP3 player goes haywire? It is lost. What to do if I want it again? Yes you guessed it, fork out some more Euros to download the music again. Well, if I bought the CD, and my media files on my HD or MP3 player is destroyed, what can I do? Yes, just copy it from the CD to my HD or MP3 player again.

So which device will I buy? None. I don't need any of them.
