Big Changes I've Seen In My Lifetime

No way MP3s are about the shittest format for music. They sound terrible.

Plus no artwork, ect.

MP3s can have a bitrate equal to CD but then it becomes a larger file. It's funny when I make CDs, some songs can't be found with a good br so one or two songs on the cd sounds like ass. Ah well. Still quick, easy, and free (:eek: ).

iPODs are for trendy assholes. Its bad enough I have a cellphone. One of those things would make me look like a complete yuppie douche

I'll have to admit, since I first started downloading tunes, I've probably only bought about twenty or so cd's in the past 6 or 7 years...And it's usually cause it's something I can't find online...Mp3 quality can be just as good as CD but like Despare said it usally means a bigger file size, which I don't mind...

I used to burn cd's all the damn time but since I got my ipod that has slowed tremendously, I hardly ever use cd's anymore unless burning them for friends...

And you can get artwork for albums from downloading depending which program you use....

I've got hundreds of burnt CDs

I have a cell phone, it's always off and nobody knows the number though. It's a one-way cell phone. :cool:

Yeh thats like me. I was one of the last people over here to get and that was only because it was given to me. People seem to be permantley attached to them.....

I got a generic MP3 player a couple years ago, and I have always been satisfied with it. I don't use it that often, (in my car I listen to CDs) but I've honestly considered getting an iPod because I think they are going to be the next default way to listen to music.

Now we have the DVD collector's industry. Eventually everything will get released- some way or another.

It's an amazing thing!


On another front- when I was young you didn't spit in public. It just wasn't done. Now there are goobers everywhere I go, and people spitting left and right. It makes me gag.

when i origionally started the thread i was really only thinking of the smaller less obvious changes ... more the things that dissapeared because of the new advancements.

but yeah .. DVD .. (or any format of home theatre for that matter)

and MP3s are another huge one ..
and the walkman ... i still remember hearing my 1st walkman (when the only alternative for portable music was a transister radio - or a car radio - and they sounded like shit !)
when my friend let me try his walkman it blew me right out of the wayer ..


i'll never own an ipod simply because at my stage of life i never have the opportunity to wear headphones... cant do it at work - cant do it at home .. cant do it at sports ...

if i was a kid now - and had a tiny device that could hold 60 gigs of music .. i'd frigging love it.
