I don't want to buy mp3s, and neither do the majority of genuine Metal fans.

I'm gonna laugh when you can't move more than 2 of the 20 copies you're waiting on right now and end up having to trade them against shit bedroom black metal from absolute nobody labels!
I'm curious, how many of you dont actually listen to the cd itself? I rip it onto my pc and the cd is kept safe in the case, I reckon about 5-10 of my cds would have sctratches the rest are perfect.
That's unfortunately the name of the game for most labels. It's difficult to run a label without having a distro...unless you print in small runs of a couple hundred or are signing bands like Craft that are sure to move a few thousand units. I generally only trade for things I have heard and that sound decent but sometimes you do get stuck with some ugliness.
I have a hard fucking time figuring out wtf to listen to.
I'm all for cd's but not for scratched fucked cd's that don't play, because this is how alot become and i can sell them as new if they turn out to be shit
They usually only go this route if you treat them like coasters. One of my biggest pet peeves are those people who have cd folders attatched to their sun shields (or whatever you call that thing). I put alot of time and anality in to keep my cds in pristine condition, and to see someone who shows so little value towards music makes me nauseous. I get over it quickly though.
