ja> I think that's the key. The music industry shot themselves in the

ja> music that I used to have on vinyl. I have actually paid for it once 
ja> or twice already but the industry keeps changing the medium 
ja> (progress) and I am forced to catch up. I used to get an album and 
ja> record it on cassette to keep the original copy in pristeen condition 
ja> so as not to play the original. Now cassette recorder is dead and it 
ja> doesn't make sense to do this as the car has a CD player. I just burn 
ja> the CDs with the songs I want. 


The regular price of CD's at music stores seems to be between $17.99 and 19.99 
these days.  It's easier to just go to Circuit City where I think there average 
price is around $13.99.  Best Buy's seem to be around $14.99 and Target has 
good prices too, but I don't know their average price.  It's good to get a CD 
the week it comes out because of sales.  I think my CD's from The Darkness, 
Fear Factory, and Killswitch Engage were all $7.99 if I remember correctly.  
The Darkness CD had already been out, though, but I came close to getting it 
and I'm glad I waited, because it went even cheaper. :)  I think it was 
probably only $4 difference, but it's like what if you get it, then find it 
cheaper.  You might get annoyed.  :)
You're right about the changing.  I hope they keep making tape players, so if I 
no longer have a working tape player, then I'm stuck with tapes I can't play.
I don't know if it's just me, but using a walkman doesn't seem to last long if 
you play it frequently. :)  I guess the same can be said with tapes and wear 
and tear.

Is there any talk of another format coming out?  I think there was something 
that came out 10 years or so ago, but I only saw a limited amount of.  I don't 
know if it was a mini disc (not the recordable kind) or if it was something 
else.  I hope not seeing that I've collected a lot of music.  They should just 
stick with CD's. :)
