Still love playing my old vinyl 33rpm,s, lovely mellow sounds. My old Goldring deck still going strong too.

Don't use downloads due to protection and you never actually owning it.

DRM is easy to circumvent, it's the fact that the music is in a lossy format that stops me from using the download route.

[Rog]

CDs are the only medium (apart from vinyl!) where the sound quality is up to par.

I don't happen to believe a DRM'ed, lossy compressed file download is worth any money, so you won't find me buying any.

Yup       

Plus, I dislike the control freak nature of iTunes. Having to do what it wants me to do rather than what I want to do.

The only problem with Itunes is that you need either a gaypod,gayphone or a gaypad for it to work properly 

For me, it's either the shops (HMV/Tescos) or Play.com

Try iPhone Magic Platinum, it got a friend out of deep do-do when iTunes failed her.

You also need a Mac. iTunes on Windows is guaranteed to delete any music that Mr Jobs didn't like. iTunes is best avoided under all circumstances if possible.

I go one stage further. I just don't buy anything that starts with an " i "

Yeah, works for me, except for the phone. They are the only ones who can make a smartphone that is genuinely useful to me. Android, Gooseberry and Windows all fall flat on email/collaboration. So I have to be partially gay.

Wtf is one of those 

Purchasing Music on physical media is dead 

At least its mine, physically in my hand.

When the likes of crApple go tits up (they will), and gayTunes can no longer confirm your purchases with the gayTunes store, thus removes them, my CDs will still work.

In addition, my CDs play in my crappy FL headunit

Star ship?

Thats the downside, most compilations have a handful of good tracks and then trash. It was Europe, BTW.

Oh yeah, so it was. I strongly suspect you have no idea what so ever, how GAY this is. 

[TheBoy]

Pretty much any bands from my early teen years looked gay. In fact, most turned out to be...

[biggriffin]

Dont download any music, just good ole cd's for me o and tapes,as my ccr600 has a tape player, lets rock.

[TheBoy]

my ccr600 has a tape player

As does mine.

Shame I took it out about 5yrs ago and replaced with an NCDR1500 with CID...

...that said, I've got a gayPod wired in to it now, so I no longer miss my cassette adapter.
