Yeah, and I miss turning the crank to start up my old Model T. Driving just isn’t the same anymore. :dubious:
I liked (and still enjoy handling) vinyl records. The full-sized artwork was nice. Albums were cool when some work actually went into them. I don’t at all miss spending full price for an album that had only one or two good songs.
I do still mostly buy albums, though. Used.
I miss LPs, with big art that you can hold in your hands, and posters and stuff. But I like being able to download a song. Often, downloading a song leads me to go buy a cd. There’s an independent record store down the street from me, and I like the notion of supporting a local business that sells albums.
But what I REALLY like is going to hear a performer or a band in a club, and during the set break or after the show, buying a cd from the artist. They usually travel with a couple of cases of “merch” these days. Often the artist will autographn the cd for me.
It just wouldn’t be the same if you went to a show and the artist said, “after the set, bring your iPod up to the table and we’ll download a song for you!”
So, I’m not seeing the album die - maybe it’s got a case of the sniffles, but I don’t think it’s a terminal illness.
You mean the track listing?
I have a question, and this seems to be the place to ask it. Someone mentioned upthread about “tying” songs together. My MP3 player (I have a Sandisk Sansa) doesn’t have this function. Is this something I can set on Windows Media Player?
For example, songs that they ALWAYS play together like Heartbreaker/Living Loving Maid. How do you get them to play in sequence on the MP3 player?
Thanks!
Indeed it is- and the live show that was touring a couple of years ago was just outstanding as well.
