Quote from eusdaiki:
why would you buy that?
Why would anyone buy a CD from a record company?
Oh, I don't know, a lot of reasons, I guess... some aren't into downloading, some don't know how to downlaod, some aren't aware that they can find the content they want online, and many kids think the packaging with the photos of the band and the lyrics are cool.
Also for the fidelity issues as outlined above by ddunbar.
Just to name a few...
(By the way, completely off topic ddunbar, but why can't you listen to music when you cycle? I guess because you need to be able to hear car horns and such?)
