More and more I have been tending towards burning downloads to listen on CDr if I really want to sit down and have a proper listen, this is mainly because my PC is a noisey thing
Thinking I might burn a few for listening over the weekend
I won't get involved with using a computer to listen to music, just too much faff. I just don't get the prices asked for some cds. For a vinyl record I can understand asking a premium, but a CD can be copied perfectly with no hassle and very little expense. Okay so doing it is illegal, but since when has that stopped anyone? Especially when the financial saving made is significant. And if the disc is out of print anyway your are not taking food from the artist's mouth, or the record company's, as a legitimate purchase is not an option.
Interestingly the cd I wanted is also available as a box set of 5 discs, one is a cd of the album, one a remix of said album, one a remix but in 24/92 'resolution' and one is a DVD (with remixed 5.1 sound).
Why anyone would want to pay extra for all that crap I have no idea. We were better off years ago when you just went down the high street, handed over a bluey and took the record home with you.
