No more Vinyl. NO more Cassettes. DVD's barely last two years with constant use.......How will my kids borrow my DRM iTunes collection? Last thing I want is for my kid to mess with my laptop or iPod. As much as I enjoy the ease of iTunes, I do miss having something to hold and lyrics to read, liner notes. I think it's a loss.DanWed, 02 Jan 2008 16:04:49 -0000http://mathewingram.disqus.com/radiohead_people_still_want_an_8220object8221/#comment-56966Agree that kids may not want the actual CD per se (or tape or vinyl or DAT). That was not my point. The point was sharing the music which goes beyond the 1s and 0s that make up an MP3. As most pre-teen/teens, I was very interested in music and even though my parents had no taste in music, there were some bright spots. Plenty of Aunts & Uncles who were cooler. Flipping through those albums was a good way to spend time as a teen. Having racks of Dead bootlegs was a worthy accomplishment. Somehow having gigbites of dead shows is less meaningful if more convenient. Sitting in front of a laptop(oh the irony stings as I write this) seems just less romantic. Call me antiquated, nostalgic.....I'm still not letting my kids touch my digital music collection for fear of the of the damage they might do beyond a scratched vinyl disc or torn liner notes.DanThu, 03 Jan 2008 10:44:10 -0000
