I'm one of those people who are still stuck in the "buying the whole album" not one song phase. That's my reason for not wanting an MP3 player. That, and I honestly don't have the time to waste with an MP3 player. That's what the CD player in the truck, computer, and stereo (when I really want it loud) are for.

That shit costs a ton of cash to produce. You don't think an artist should get paid for their efforts?
And be fore you go down that whole bla bla corporate raping of musicians rant, the musicians still get a piece of the sales.
Might not be much, but they still make money.Last edited by Carbuff; 04-07-2008, 10:11 PM.

Zune + Amazon .99 cent (DRM-free) mp3's + my entire CD collection on one easy to use device + tons of free sci/news/music podcasts + a really good UI = happy Zune user.
I definitely was not an early adopter of the mp3 player craze, but since I discovered how cool it is to have all my CD's with me wherever I am, it's tough to go back. The thing that really closed the deal for me though was all the awesome free podcasts that you can subscribe to that synch automatically with the Zune.
Disclaimer - I am a Microsoft employee, but that has nothing to do with the fact that I'm a fan of the Zune - or any other device that will allow me to rip my CD's effortlessly in a non-DRM format and download mp3's with zero DRM bullshit. And no, that is definitely not the company line - on the subject of DRM I'm a bit of a rebel. I'm more than happy to pay for music, just don't tell me when/where/how I can use it after you have my money.
