When you buy music, what format do you prefer?

[ahjteam]

Answer the poll.

 

[ratsapprentice]

CD or Vinyl - depending on what I think the music will sound best on, or the physical package....

 

[Skinny Viking]

CD

 

[MarcusGHedwig]

Amazon mp3

 

[vespiz]

CD

 

[drew_drummer]

Any of the above.

 

[DanLights]

Mainly CD, but I think I´ll be buying mp3s (or FLAC) more often if I don´t want to drown my house in CDs

 

[Ashgarth]

CD or Vinyl

 

[The Unavoidable]

CD for sure, but the way things are going I'll be looking more and more into Wavs/Mp3s.

 

[Dexter_prog]

CD or anything physical. I will never pay for digital stuff, not because I don't like digital music (actually I rip all of my cds as soon as I buy them), but because I like having a printed cd and booklet in my cd shelf

+1!

 

[Taurean]

CD

-Love the smell of it.
-Enjoy actually holding something.
-Love seeing the graphics and vibe, turning it over to see the back, flipping through the lyrics, credits, and any interesting things an artist puts in there.
-With a killer mix, CD quality is aces.

CD. Why would I choose lesser quality when I can create it from the CD?

 

[Terminus]

Spacewave. 1 Billion Million Trillion Terabytes per song. The hard drive is a 5 mile long space station hovering over earth using a cloaking device so no one steals mah tunes. Only got 3 songs on it. One of them is not the whole thing. Sounds great, though.

 

[Sloan]

CD, then I download/rip FLAC.

I mainly use the physical medium as 'backup'

My pal opened up a record store so i've been picking up vinyl too, some stuff from local punk acts that still love putting out splits etc on 7" and more. I'm on a vinyl comp too, so that's nice. (with punkassfucks 40oz. Folklore on the 'By All Means' Comp here: http://www.doyahearwe.com/)

i didn't know you could buy digital .wavs outside of samples. any time i see lossless for sale it's always flac.

Well, you can always decompress those FLAC files to wav...

 

[Ermz]

CD or lossless digital delivery, but quite honestly, despite that feeling of opening up a CD for the first time, space here in the house is at a premium, and I've got nowhere to store the damn things, and will likely just rip them to flac or wav afterward anyway. Plus CDs at times have errors, which cause trepidation and subsequent mass murderous rage.

 

[HeadCrusher]

CDs, willing to go digital but only for WAVs.
