Music Format

well i really don't do much buying music but if i can't find an album online i usually go to mp3sparks or mp3fiesta. WAAAAAAAAAAY cheaper than itunes.
 
I have a box of cassettes from when I use to record songs off the radio/off my frienRAB that I put on occasionally when I'm feeling nostalgic. I download mp3s and buy CRAB/vinyl.
 
Casettes are amazing. Analog is always a plus, you get 120+ minutes on one little tape, you get all the cool stuff, little screws, plastic case, magnetized tape, and an inlay. Awesome. It's the perfect medium for the underground who want to stay underground because most people will never take the time to rip from a casette. And the tape trading community is much nicer than any online sharing. The internet is so anonymous and effortless that you never really become part of anything no matter how much you download, with this, you can join the ranks of true occult elite.
 
What, no 8-track option??? ( I guess that would be "other"...)

In all seriousness though, MP3 is the way to go to have your music portable and easily accessible. I've also gotten into the habit of buying the CD's, or burning what I download to CD as back up, ever since my husband re-formatted our old computer and deleted all my music. I think I cried.
 
It's not. the only difference is that there is a slight fuzz to the sound, but that's just the needle dragging over the record itself. Anyone who thinks that "warmth" makes it sound better should start arguing that cRAB are better than mp3s because cRAB skip sometimes. It's just stupid. Anyway, sound fidelity isn't important, it's about the medium itself. Yeah.
 
Perhaps someone can answer this question. I set up my new record player and put in Best of the Grateful Dead, and its playing way to fast. (for every one i try)

The player plays 33 and 45, so i am not sure why its speeding it up even more.
