if you want an autographed copy of Kendrick Lamar's Damn you better order it from his website…

I'm not ordering one myself for the record although i guess it could be nice to have one..

Y&T was a big part of my early record buying days. Sent a lot more money at Joe's, though.

I, came in here just to see what people actually talked about in this thread. That cassette player, is pretty neat, indeed. I'm waiting for, the Japanese only LaserDisc version.

I have a CD compilation of every good '60s cut and another box set from the '70s.

I hate you all. 

Because of the "rebirth" of vinyl, tangible media (16%) is going to (re)surpass download purchases (19%) in the next year or so.

But don't get too excited - the impact of buying vinyl (29% of all physical media sales, up 3%) pales in comparison to the impact of streaming (68% of all music revenues) on the death of digital downloads (down 24%).

Let the high quality streaming wars begin, and prove Jay-Z right…..

I don't stream. I purchase downloads or still buy LPs or CDs (and rip CDs…if LPs come with a download card, all the better). I got made fun of last week for having an old iPod.

ditto for me.
i'm a tactile caveman.
streaming sounds fine in other's abodes, but it's  not for me.
usb drive in the car is a great thing, however.

The only reason to make fun of an old iPod is if it is redundant - like if you carry a cell phone that is not work prohibited.  Knowing bearman, he probably has a GI blackberry and uses the iPod for music listening.  If he has a secondary personal mobile device, well, that's grounds for being humorously told about the redundancy he has created for himself.

Nothing wrong with that.  My ride's head unit has a 20gb hard drive and support for two SD cards.  This allows for FLAC versions of the best driving music Smackie can can find with no worries about storage space on my phone…

You must have the ears of a badger to tell the difference between FLAC and streaming direct from your phone via bluetooth.
