In response to Toby’s post on Record Store Day.

I’ve been buying more vinyl lately too. Mostly bcause I like vinyl and they usually come with a free mp3 download. Sometimes they even come with a CD or CDR. I am also in teh process of getting rid of all but my most precious CDs. I do like packaging and liner notes and I wish that was available for digital downloads (on iTunes it sometimes but rarely is) but I do not have any particular attachment to the CD as a format. It’s on its way out, I think. And here’s the part I have trouble beleiving about myself: even after working at a recording studio and having recorded several records, I am not bothered by the lossy format of AAC or MP3. I can hear it on real lo-res or old mp3s but I can’t really tell the difference with a 256kbps AAC encoding. So, keeping CDs as a better digital representation of my music really isn’t that important to me. All of this music will still be available somewhere in the future (except for the ultra-rare, which I’m keeping.

that was my 2 cents.
