Why aren't hipsters allowed to like compact discs?
3Z3VH:
Incentive... or Intent ?

You and me both.

Fuck you all I love cds. They're the most convenient format for me. Fuck mp3s, I don't have the bandwidth for that and I like to have the artwork. Fuck records they're a bitch to move around and getting a record player is being more effort than it's going to be worth. Fuck tapes because, umm, actually tapes are pretty good.
3Z3VH:
The new ID3 standard allows you to embed abum art into the MP3.

Music is essentially vibrations, so encoding the sound onto a digital format is always going to cause something to be lost in translation. A digital recording of sound is actually a series of samples at a certain rate, which means that by definition it is not a complete sound wave. A vinyl record has a groove carved into it that mirrors the original sound's waveform. This means that no information is lost. That is only one reason for disliking the compact disc though.

Uh, you're aware that every time you listen to a vinyl record you're changing the information stored on it, right?
