Jumping on bandwagon while the wagon is still bandying about...
...I too would like to thank everyone in the world, the world and beyond...yes, the solar system for that great sunshine I get at times... also Pluto, which I still consider a planet. And, the asteroid belt beyond the solar system... for all they've done and continue to do.
Am I funny yet?

If I had even the remotest clue what you we talking about, then yes, maybe it would be funny.
Or not.

You seem to be in a mean spirited, sh*tty mood today, dear. Snap out of it, or not.

Um, either that or I just don't have a clue what he meant.

The OP was basic sarcasm, which we in the UK appreciate, but the one where you start pounding on about the solar system doesn't contain a jot of sense.

Oh, sarcasm. We don't have that here in my part of the world.
Thanks for pointing that out.

Do you buy the to convert to MPS or just buy the MP3 or WAV or ogg version?
|
|
|
|
|
|
I am slowly coming round, but second hand cd's are cheaper than mp3's so I am split on buying 2nd hand and converting or straight digital!

Out of curiosity, where're you buying from/what are you buying? Other than filling in a few holes in collection of music from when I was a teen on Amazon I've generally found used CDs+shipping ending up around or above the mp3 album price (and I've had enough hassles with cheap scratched CDs in prior years that ripping to save a single dollar or so was more hassle than it was worth). Until a few years ago I was buying a fair amount of European metal via CD; but only because they were charging crazy/silly prices for the mp3s.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I am a recent convert to MP3, so I use either apple google or amazon to buy them but generally Amazon. I feel i get a better deal on second hand cd's as i can get a copy of an older CD for $5 and that is half the cost of an mp3! I generally buy alternative rock or big beat trip hop electronic music. the reason for my question is I just got the new Radiohead Album and I will not buy the CD, as i have a digital copy and I only listen to music on my IPOD or phone! I pose the question to see how others get their music!!

The loudness wars[^] are one good reason to get music as used CDs. Grab your headphones and listen to the ~3 minute video where they demonstrate the difference.. then consider that the "Thriller" MP3 you purchase won't be made from the 1982 mastering of the song. 
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

Been a long time. Never had much of a CD collection Back in the day had vinyl.
|
|
|
|

Having seen the carnation of various media, I would say vinyl was the coolest. Aside from the cover art, you got all sorts of neat things like posters and what not and things you could assemble to hang off the ceiling. There was a lot of creativity.

The only people I know personally that buy music CDs are over 50 years old. If I need music, I'll "sample" it YouTube.
YouTube is really nice, because if you have a good app downloader in FireFox or Chrome, you can download the entire video or just MP4 if you wish.

Buy CD, copy it to home computer, burn a copy for use in vehicles and by my daughter (she has CD players throughout the house).

I buy CD's in order to have guaranteed, unequivocal access to the music I purchase. I rip to MP3's and load those to my various devices.
On occasion I've purchased MP3's online, but then backed them up to optical media.

That's exactly what I tend to do. Usually, it's MP3 these days which I back-up onto a CD.
|
|

|

I do. I like liner notes, graphics, list of musicians, song writers. It's something tangible that I can hold in my hand, kinda like a vinyl record (got plenty of those too).

Same here, but I only listen to them on the car. Once I get a new CD it is immediately ripped to FLAC and MP3.
