What's Up With Vinyl?
Lines:
No. I didn't know this until after the fact, which is STUPID, because I found a way to report that I had lost them, and I could see every song/album I'd gotten from them, but if I want to re-download it, I have to pay for it. Again.
Which I will, because Stop Making Sense is just too good not to have a copy of, but I'm buying the CD this time, dammit. I love Macs, but fuck Apple with its iTunes crap.

I buy a lot of vinyl because a sizeable chunk (though i wouldn't say a majority) of the music I buy is not available on cd and downloads just don't do it for me (unless there is no choice because spending 100+ for an out-of-print 7" is not feasible for me)
Vinyl records occasionally have fun goodies packed in (which while not the reason I buy the record are still nice), from full-sized posters to buttons, to patches, to even combs.
The latest re-release of King Khan and BBQ's self-titled was pressed with an one-sided second lp with 6 exclusive tracks not on the cd and the packaging even included a weird board game (game pieces included!)
SevenPinkerton:
I just hate CDs in general. And DVDs. I remember the days when I could rent a movie from a video store without it screwing up, going into choppy blocks midway through and me trying to figure out if I should just skip the part or turn it into the store for another one. I remember when the biggest problem with renting a movie was tracking.
The same goes with CDs. I want Vinyl and Cassette tapes simply because they last much longer. I take care of my cds, but things happen and both the cd and the casing is extremely fragile, especially for the price I'm shelling out. I now burn each cd I buy so I have an extra copy in case one breaks. I'm impatiently waiting for the next technology that wont be as ridiculous as the current one.

send customer support an e-mail, they should let you re-download the songs you lost. A friend of mine lost ~60 songs when reformatting his iPhone, one quick e-mail and they set it up so he could download them all again.

I did and they never replied nor enabled me to redownload anything. This was 5 months ago and I'm too lazy to bother with it, because I'd just rather go buy a physical copy like I should have done in the first place. (It was from a gift certificate, so it's not like I personally lost money.)
