Re: listening formats pondering

I keep all CDs I buy, even if I transfer them on my phone.

Buying a download is for me like spending money for some wind.

As computers don't have CD engraver now, the only remaining option is LPs...

I sold my LP collection three years ago, keeping just 200 titles. But until this time I buy again vinyl, mostly reissues.

I can't imagine buying a CD and sold it after copy.

Old generation perhaps...

Re: listening formats pondering

It may be my imagination but files ripped from a cd seem to sound better than the digital files from Amazon etc. I also find the cd booklets from labels like rpm, ace, sun dazed etc something that I want to have and be able to go back to from time to time. Hard to read given the font size but packed with great info and pictures

Not unlike in cassette tape days when pre-recorded cassettes sounded like someone walking through porridge in the middle distance, whilst a vinyl needle drop to blank cassette tape had 100% more volume and clarity. Those were simple times!
