Keeping in line with my post in the mp3 thread...it doesnt seem natural to me to listen to non-physical forms of music. If I had a record player, I'd listen to vinyl. It's something about the medium on which the music is played. Since I don't have a big problem with digital books, I shouldn't have a problem with digital music....it's just that I don't have a decent method of playing the files. I want to hook up a record player to a tube amp and listen through two large speakers. There's no logic to it...it's just....a trust issue I guess. heh. I don't trust listening to mp3s through headphones on my laptop.
