I still love CDs, and i hope they never entirely vanish, but mp3s are just so much more conveniant and organized. I just have too much music...

I cant stand random selection though...its just disgusting. Another way for companies to make money is put on the market asap

[QUOTE=RockAndRoll]Vinyl > CD's > MP3's

It mostly has to do with sound compression.[/QUOTE]
That's right.

except you forgot something-

Viynl>CD's>MP3's>Cassettes

I don't get the obsession some people have with vinyl. You have to get up and flip it, they have lesser sound quality, and they take up more space.

And vynil gets scratched easier. You can't put the songs on your computer, on an mp3 player and it's really hard to make compilations.

I have no obsession. Its sounds better but I barely listen to them to preserve them.

[QUOTE=Bartender]Not sure yet. I've only listened to them a little, because I bought several other CDs around the same time (ten, over two days, actually). Sugar Magnolia is a good song though, I knew that already.[/QUOTE]

Nice :thumb: Those are two great albums, though I prefer others :)

[QUOTE]Badmoon do you have any good live versions of Eyes of the World? The studio version is meh.[/QUOTE]

Yes, I will post it in a few minutes. :)


And the sound quality of CD's is much better than vinyl.


P.S. Another shroom opportunity had arisen. Next Thursday ;)

[QUOTE=Livewired]I have no obsession. Its sounds better but I barely listen to them to preserve them.[/QUOTE]
If it sounds better, why aren't we using them today? CD's have better quality, usually 256Kbps whilst most .mp3s have 128Kbps..

Mp3s aren't cool. In fact, they're the opposite of cool. Non-cool!

Well, maybe because they take up a lot of space, are too expensive to make, and can not play inside of a car.

And they have the same if not better sound quality, so why wouldn't we use them, it's stupid. I myself do own hundreds of vinyls but I don't listen to them on a regular basis. Half of them are scratched to **** anyway.

CDs have a designated amount of space, so better sound quality can fit. In an mp3 player, the less sound quality, the more songs. the more songs=more profit. Thats what its all about

I hate when tey measure space by amount of songs. I would only get about 1/4 of what they claim, since they consider each song to be appr. 2-3 minutes, and mine all average 6-7. But its funny how easily people fall for it...

Exactly what I was thinking they aren't portable either.

JPJ I will need you to send me Zooma because the youssendit files got deleted.:(

^ True, but look into .ogg(Ogg Vorbis), they are better sound quality in the car, and they are smaller size, a 3-4mb song is about 1.5-2mb.

I always measure content as total playing time. Unless i'm listening to Yes or Pink Floyd and in that case only about half of it is actul song :p

Sony has a program that will allow you to have up to 100 songs on a CD. You have to have a .mp3 compatible CD player or stereo(almost all do now). Then you shrink the file, burn as Data and listen to it. :)

i measure by amount of space (Gigs or Megs). Measuring by songs is so innacurate its rediculous

That's why I have an iPod that is 25GB :)

Thats what i did to ensure the safety of my music...i burned them all into DATA disc, which i could hold a little elss then a gig on each. Once you put em on a comp, they automatically go to mp3s. If you have a DVD, you can put up to 4.7 Gbs on each, but out comp isnt DVD compatable

all i got is cds and tapes. :(

Yeah, you'd have to get an external DVD burner, they range from 50-500 bucks :|, Just burn at different speeds. Lots of computers come with them these days too :|

Yea, but their sound sucks too :thumb:

Why don't we stop talking about this subject?

agreed^^^

Mp3 player saves space and effort.

Vinyl>CD's. CD's deteriorate, vinyl is practically permanent.

They both get scratched up.

I heard See the Light by Jeff Healy on the radio. I was impressed.

[QUOTE=lunch998]They both get scratched up.[/QUOTE]
Yes, but if they were never used, that's what would happen.

[QUOTE=Woodstock]Vinyl>CD's. CD's deteriorate, vinyl is practically permanent.[/QUOTE]
i don't like my vinyl, but i think just my record player sucks.
