Dear Digipacks...

[Jasonic]

F*CK YOU VERY MUCH!

Sure, you look so nice and glossy in the store....

You take up less space in storage.

Then what happens????
Put you in the car or in a travel case of some variety and you scratch, rip, and tear, and then look like a$$.....

JEWEL CASES > DIGIPACKS

 

[Jasonic]

Hippie........

 

[booB]

Buying a digipak instead of a jewel case is like buying a paper coffee mug instead of a plastic or ceramic one.

 

[Headquake]

Very easy to remedy your frustration.
1.Put the cd in a cd-r case
2.Store the digipack on your shelf in a plastic bag/sleeve.
3.Take ONLY the cd in the CD-R case with you in your car.

I love digi's and that's how i keep them looking like new for years

2-CD Jewel Cases are the way to go.

All good points....
I do have a CD wallet style carrying case that holds like 15 CDs.

Though when you first get a CD, I like carrying the case with me
(For song titles, booklet, liner notes, etc).

I can't do the whole download CD right to MP3 and fully enjoy the CD.

Sure, once I fully absorb the album, I can do that.
Though for CDs I recently acquired, the actual case travels with me for a while.

Buying a digipak instead of a jewel case is like buying a paper coffee mug instead of a plastic or ceramic one.

Or a paper condom instead of a latex one!

Or just burn a copy of the disk for use outside of the home, that way you never even have to drag the original package anywhere.

I have copies of 95% of my cd's, specifically so I can just leave the good copies at home.

What I hate are digipaks/books where the disc slides into a cardboard/paper sleeve rather than the glued plastic tray. Talk about potential for scratching it up!

 

[Diabolik]

I hate the digipak's. I keep my stuff in great shape but after a few years they get banged up and old around the edges.

 

[Jasonic]

You can replace a cracked jewel case, you can't replace a torn digipack cover...............

True, but then that adds to even more clutter.
This is why I like my MP3 player, to burn the main songs I like to.

I think a solution would be to bite the bullet and purchase an 80 gig MP3 player to load my entire collection to.

Either way, DIGIPACKS = THE "SUCK"!

 

[Cheiron]

I'm with you there Jasonic. Though, all my stuff gets beat up pretty bad, digipacks go to hell right away.

And I don't burn things, because well I'm too lazy and don't want to spend all that damn time, nontheless buying CDrs costs some money... however cheap they are these days.

 

[EtherealForest]

I agree. Sometimes they can be cool, like the new Symphony X, but over all I'd take a jewel case. I especially hate when they are already slightly banged up when you buy them.

 

[Jasonic]

Or even worse, when the plastic tray starts becoming unglued, or one of the tabs that holds the disc gets cracked.

You can't replace that shiznit!

 

[Mountain King]

People still use CD's in cars??

 

[Jasonic]

*hides bag full of tapes on floor in the back seat*

 

[Rycher]

I listen to Sirius when I'm in the car, though I usually have a handful of CDR's somewhere.

 

[Diabolik]

I still use tapes in the car.

 

[Vegetaman]

My car has a tape deck, but I use the $10 portable CD player to cassette converter.
