Do you still buy CD's or just download ? - Tiki Music

I love music, and have an extensive collection of both CDs and vinyl. I am hesitant to get into the whole Ipod/mp3 downloading. When you have literally thousands of both records and CDs, it is hard to justify acquiring music in yet another format. I love the ritual of selecting which CDs I will take along with me on a trip, and do not feel the need to constantly carry a digital copy of my entire library with me at all times. And although there are many cool LPs available for free download, many that I do not yet own, I am wary of the greed/glutton factor that can intrude into one's life. (Those who see my basement LP collection may say that this intrusion has already happened) I do enjoy music, and I will still buy a good CD - especially when it is to support a good band that I just heard perform live. On rarer ocassions, I will buy vinyl (I just picked up a clean version of Martin Denny's Forbidden Island) By the way, I still have an operable 8-track recorder, and if I need to, I can convert from CD to 8-track. Sometimes it is more important to treasure the nostalgic moments in your life, than adapt to the latest technology. Vern
