I was 7 when the 90s ended :(

 

I wish I could have been this old ten years ago, actually. Now that CD's are dying it's getting harder to get my hands on the albums I want.

Damn. Google Maps used to have this thing (I don't know if it was a glitch or an easter egg) where if you searched for directions from USA to China, it would tell you in one of the steps "swim or jet ski across the Pacific Ocean" lol

 

It doesn't do that anymore :(

Eh, I like iTunes and the like, makes everything more portable ;)

 

Oh I use iTunes too. I hate Apple products except the older model ipods with the click wheel. But I used to have an iPod touch. When they released iOS 6 and it made my iPod slower than molasses, I avoided iOS like the plague. Not ragging on anyone who like Apple stuff. It's just not for me. 

 

I do have an old iPod though. And I use iTunes. That's about the extent of it. iTunes (when running on a fairly decent machine) is actually an incredibly beautiful and easy to use music manager. Miles ahead of WMP. 

 

I just port my CD's over to iTunes. There are a few reasons I like CD's

 

1. Companies like iTunes, Google, and Amazon...they may not be around forever. If they go bust, you probably lose everything you had with them unless you have backup copies. 

 

2. CD's have all the neat stuff that you don't get when you get the album digitally. You get the booklet. 

 

3. CD's give you a feel of ownership. You go to the store or online and buy the CD. You take it home or get it in the mail and you actually have something you can hold. Tangibility makes a huge difference to someone like me. 

 

4. The audio quality of a CD is superior to what you buy online. Until you can buy lossless copies of songs digitally from the major vendors, my preferred choice is the good ol CD. An  MP3 CD has 700 megabytes of storage or 80 minutes of play time. 80 minutes of play time is roughly 15 to 20 songs. 700 megabytes is 100+ songs in MP3 format. They achieve that by cutting out a lot of data. An AAC you buy on iTunes is 256 kilobits per second. That same song on a CD is 1,411.2 kilobits per second though FLAC and ALAC use compression to cut it down without sacrificing quality. Let it go on record that I'm not about to talk down on someone if they prefer MP3 or AAC. I don't care. But I do prefer CD's because in lossless formats, certain sounds are much more pronounced. Especially snare and cymbal hits. 

 

5. CD's are dying. Stores are trying their best to clear their inventory of them. It sucks. It really sucks. But the upside of this is that you can get a CD far cheaper than you can the same album on iTunes anymore. I recently got a copy of Green Day's "Dookie." on Amazon. It cost me $5. That's no typo. And you get a free MP3 version with it if you buy it straight from Amazon. The MP3 version w/o the CD is somewhere in the ballpark of $12. So essentially you get more things for less money. Buying the CD is the cheaper alternative. And you also get the superior audio quality of the CD. :D Win-win!

 

It's not hard to put a CD in iTunes lol I copy a CD over and never have to touch it again unless I lose all my backups. And in case I do, I've got the CD. But that's just me. :3
