Used music CD's

No mojo, how true.

He also has a segment in that same episode where he discusses how musicians had to 'build their chops' working their way through small gigs while honing their craft. Now people make music at home on a computer. The music industry is in a weird place.

Shut down free digital sharing, so yes someone asked them to prove they owned it. Which they didn't.

Swing and a miss. You are completely missing point here. No one is talking about stealing music like it's the late nineties. The discussion is if there is a reason to own a physical copy of the music. So far, no one has been able to come up with any of the few reasonable arguments, album art, lyrics sheets, vinyl collection, etc. Aloha mentioned the artists being paid more and that's an okay argument if it's true, but I imagine would be easily get in other ways like going to a show or buying merch.

Not everything is in a digital format.

Besides, Skynet.
Amazon has already proven that it will remove digital copies that were purchased, when it had an issue of licensing. (Yes, in this case, it was a book. But to me, digital is digital.)
Yes, we have Amazon music for sheer convenience- but I immediately download it onto an external HD when we purchase music.

There is also the fact that digital music may not be brought into certain secure facilities. CDs can (not home-burned CDs, purchased CDs.)

I like to have books around, which take up even more volume/weight than CDs.

I miss pay phones.

[ChickNorris]

I miss pay phones.

Some folks miss the booths too.

[OldFogey]

Some folks miss the booths too.

Only the Supers.

I'm looking for older CD's, expanding my collection.

Interested in buying or borrowing to rip. My taste is eclectic, so if you have any CD's you want to part with or loan, please let me know.

For loan, I have a decent collection of classical, jazz & blues along with some random 'noise' if you're lacking in the genres.
