How long has it been since you bought a CD?
Haven't bought one for months myself :black

usually i dont buy cds, but none of my friends have any techno :( so i have to buy those

just got the Perfecto Presents: Another World by Paul Oakenfold, for $20, i got 2 very nice cds, so i think it was worth it

Bought a bunch of Stromkern CDs the other week. Waiting for Junkie XL's and Celldweller's new albums, and got a few dozen albums on my wishlist. If you wanna make me an X-mas present - PM me :)

Hmmm, I've always wondered why Music Stores sell CD-R... I mean, duh - isn't it abvious why you're selling less?

why do they sell cdr? i think works something like a movie theatre does

they dont make money off of the movie, ticket, they barely cover that price (in this case cdr's), but their real money maker is the refreshments, they overprice them, thats where the money is made

bestbuy advertises lots of rebates to get you into the store and buy stuff, i think cheap cdr's are a way to reel in customers

but yeah, in some ways you're right, it is an oxy-morn type of thing

last month i bought "dusty in memphis" by dusty springfield and "trout mask replica" by captain beefheart. i already had em but my originals got broke when i knocked my cd stand over. Its not so easy to get good classic albums at a high bit rate. Electronica is easy to get online. just now im listening to peaches, william orbit and the orb.

HAHAHAHA....I see you've caught on to how theater chains stay alive....they really don't give a shit about you paying to get in.....cuz part of that gets kicked back to the film distro. Food/Drink is all theres. BTW I wouldn't advise you to buy any popcorn the next time you go see a movie...(if any of you ever do... :wings )

I never buy CD's.....last one I bought was the RahXephon set....come to think of it I only buy OST's I can't get off P2P.....or are of such poor quality that I'd pay to hear them in there full glory. Nothing from the states gets a dime outta my pocket.

Napster changed all that for me....soon as I logged on and got some of my favorites I was hooked....never to buy a mainstream CD again....

All I've bought is 2 Pac's new album "Better Dayz" and Snoop Dogg's "Paid the Cost to be the Bo$$". The only reason I bought Snoop is because it was $8.99. Other than that, I just download with my 56K :error !
