Farewell to a friend

[midknightwriter]

My CD player was stolen from Ol' Blue today... I actually locked my doors for once, and somebody broke in and took it. Thankfully, they didn't damage the car too bad; must've known what they were doing. They also got The Sadies Live In Concert Disc 1, which burns me up too

Maybe the stolen cd player is a message from god to get out of the dust and advance with technology.... you know what everyone thinks about those pple who clung to tapes. Cds still have their place, but seriously, you can carry your entire music collection around with you as opposed to one cd with a backpack full of replacements. CDs are for a shelf in your bedroom, MP3 is no longer the future, MP3 is the now.

Somebody sponsor you to make that speech, Danny?

aw, that's so sad. the transition from cd player to mp3 player was really hard on me, but i really love mine now. but i can respect the desire to not get one...

It took me forver to cave and get an mp3 player, but it got to the point where my discman was sitting *flat on the table* and still skipping.

Why the resistance to mp3s?

...because CDs work just fine, and they don't work any less fine now that there are newer, shinier, more complicated formats. I

I neither know or care what everyone thinks of "those people who clung to tapes", as DG so eloquently put it. I also don't care what everyone thinks of me for clinging to CDs... as such, I don't feel a pressing need to keep abreast of the latest technology just 'cause it's "cool". CDs were good enough for me ten years ago, and they still are today.

Ol' Blue is also full of tapes, which I still listen to now that my CD player has been stolen. My computer is stuffed with MP3 files and I listen to them on shuffle while typing responses such as this. But for a combination of portability, ease of use, and variety of available music, it's CDs for me.

Plus, I have used iPods and they are a righteous pain in the ass.

once you get used to them, they're not so bad...

But what about a mp3/cd player? Looks like a discman but can play burnt disk mp3s as well?

They're pretty useful I find...helped me make my transition from CD to MP3 myself...then again, my CD player just stopped working...and my cd/mp3 was "borrowed" by a no longer friend.

so yea...cd/mp3 player...

if not that, I like all creative products for mp3 players...easy to use and not a complete piece of crap.

oh no!
That sucks. I'm sure you'll be able to find a normal CD player somewhere... there's still some around here. I still stick to the CD's... there's just something about being able to actually HOLD the music....
