How long has it been since you bought a CD? For me it's been ages. The only reason I need CDs is for automotive tunage (for that I just burn my own). But why buy mediocre MP3s when, when you can download songs, sift, then patronize just the 5 star stuff. Check out the MP3 blog list for a nice guide to the folks who share their favs with the world and are just asking to get sued by the RIAA. I salute your bravery and gafaw to fling poo in the face of the establishment. Rock on.
