First of all - "what's his name" is me - has been for years. Second of all I do not own a PORTABLE mp3 player. Unless it's a record, tape or cd, I don't bother. If that makes me a dinosaur, fine.

quit being a dinosaur and buy an IPOD.

I don't own an MP3 player either, I always buy CDs.

My definition of portable music is my trusty panasonic CD Walkman, six years later it's still going great!

I agree, i've never downloaded an album. i have to have the cd, and there's no way anyone can download an opeth album. you need the artwork.

i walk to college everyday and i find my IPOD to be the greatest. there's no skipping like portable cd players, and they're small as hell. but i can understand if some are against them.
 
well i download plenty of music and buy plenty of cd's. mp3 players dominate cd players in every respect

not only am i receiving the artwork, supporting the bands, and saving money by not making blind purchases or taking suggestions from people i might regret, as i download it first and listen to it myself, but i'm also almost never handling the cd itself after i rip it, meaning it's not going to get scratched or cracked, as i have mp3s

apparently people think owning an mp3 player is some form of supporting piracy. don't be so naive

Yeah, except for the fact that mp3's are compressed and technically have lower sound quality than audio cd's. :rolleyes:

Therefore, in terms of quality, cd player -> mp3 player. :doublerolleyes:
that would be your mistake for using shitty low bit rate mp3s
 
Yeah, okay. Considering 360 kbps is normally the highest bit rate of an mp3, it's still far below audio cd quality. There may not be a difference in sound, but the point is still there. I'd prefer cd's just for the fact that they are higher quality, even if it's unnoticable. :ultraerk:
 
yeah... thats true. but damn i wish i could get my hands on the originals rather than the re issues. its good though they deserve to be re mastered, and plus they are getting bigger by the re issues.. i mean i wouldnt have known where to start looking if i wanted up the downstair? btw if anyone knows where to find that original PM me..!!
