Comments on: Music poll: How do you get your music? CD? iTunes? Napster?

The Audiophiliac wants to know how you get your music--CD, LP, MP3, iTunes, or maybe from a P2P or music subscription service?

by PGerald February 14, 2008 11:27 AM PST: I buy CD's and ever since purchasing my Creative Zen last year and my iPod a few weeks ago, I've been copying my CD's. At this point, I don't plan on subscribing to any music services. I'd rather have the CD's just in case...

As for LP's, I haven't seen any of those in a loooonnnngggg time.

As for sound quality, it's important and I would like to hear my music clearly.; Like this Reply to this comment

Have never downloaded any music, because of the poor quality they offer you. Why pay for poorer quality than CD. As far as I'm concerned Vinyl is still the best, just takes a little more work to enjoy. Most of the LP's I buy are better quality ones starting with some 180gm versions and usually older titles. I get a lot of my new music choices mostly from friends recommendations. Usually buy from Amazon for new CD's and used CD's and LP's from a local outlet.; Like this Reply to this comment


by JerryGilliland March 2, 2008 8:35 PM PST: The people that say sound quality is very important, but then go on to say that they download from iTunes, or buy CDs and rip them to their iPod, slay me. I've had two iPods. The least expensive and the most expensive. Both sounded awful.
I searched around and collected about 15 different mp3 players. The best one I've found is the Creative line, i.e. Zen Vision M 30GB is my favorite. 6000 songs, two movies and countless pictures and still have room. With good headphones/ear buds, the sound is exceptional.
As far as my cars go, I have replaced my head units with those that have a USB port. I load a ton of mp3s on a 2gb flash drive and I'm set to listen to my music in any of the vehicles I drive.
I like to make mp3 CDs also, with 150 or so songs on each one and play them in my car or home stereos.
But I buy most of my music in CD format and download the impossible to find ones from Limewire.; Like this Reply to this comment

Between projectionist gigs he worked as a high-end audio salesman for sixteen years, and produced records for an audiophile label. Oh, and one more thing, nothing annoys Steve more than being confused with the other Steve Guttenberg, the washed-up Police Academy actor.
