Todays younger generation views music like fast food. I'll take a wham burger and two fries and, yeah, one of them mp3's.
I buy vinyl and maybe a cd but must admit to using Pandora when doing graphic work on the pc. But for serious listening it is always an LP.

But then again, I'm the guy who will listen to all of a band's albums, end to end, instead of just picking and choosing a few songs here and there over and over again.
I think the collective attention span of society has decreased or something because I know a lot of people who told me that they can't just listen to an entire album from beginning to end because it bores them and because they need variety. That's because they listen to boring music that all sounds the same.

I still get albums but by most of my stuff is ripped from existing music collection into MP3 format for my 160GB iPod (close to full). I don't mind streaming services but I like to control what I listen to when I want to listen to it.
I've got a bad feeling about this.....

Well, if it doesn't all sound the same why would they say they need a variety to keep from getting bored?

This is the truth. Yawn..blanket statement. [/quote] Well what I mean to say is mostly directed toward popular music. They are over produced and *sound* the same. Songs may be different, but the production follows a strict money making formula of overly compressed, drab sounding music. There are a lot of really superior sounding stuff out there, but you've never heard of them because they don't follow a generic popular music formula, so go unnoticed. Today's Indie music isn't even really Indie anymore. Just basically pop music by guys in plaid shirts and skinny jeans.

we have some good local talent and I often buy their CD's when we see them live. I have about all the vinyl and cd's I will ever need, mostly 60-70's.

I bought $70 worth of old vinyl records last weekend, does that count? I'd wager a good number of them haven't been played since before I was born over 35 years ago...
I haven't bought a CD since 2002? Never purchased music in a digital format before.
I refuse to buy a flight sim that I have no interest in playing, on the off chance that MAYBE someday they'll make the one I really want to play.

That's because they listen to boring music that all sounds the same. I find back in my album buying days that i'd listen to the whole cassette front to back more than once. First run several songs would stand out while others i knew i'd end up fast forwarding though eventually. Example that i can thing of right now....ZZ Top Eliminator. My favorite album of all time. Songs like TV Dinner and several others i just can't stand.....hardly boring

I buy CD's through Amazon and get the autorip mp3's immediately. I don't trust DRM music. I avoid Apple's little snares at all cost.

If you mean in physical form, no. But iTunes has an asterisk by my name in their quarterly reports.
I have yet to scratch a digital flie.
