Usually, people claim vinyl sounds better because they are more used to the sound characteristics of this medium and because they tend to have better sound equipment connected to their gramophones than to their computers. The might also be using cheap sound cards and over-compressed mp3 files, making their comparison of vinyl vs. mp3 completely flawed.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Dude…the sound from vinyl friggin rapes mp3. This is a simple fact.
Go to a nightclub and you’ll notice you now have some lame DJ’s who play 320’s on the big system…after their set you get another DJ come on and spin vinyl…it’s pretty obvious what sound is the best on a massive rig let alone at home.
MP3 quite frankly sucks dicks. It’s alright for your journey on the bus/train to and from work etc…but at home let alone a club I want friggin clean and kick-ass sound.

Probably you react this way because you are used to the way vinyl is mastered.
Besides, I was using mp3 as a key word referring to all codecs including flac, which of course has no artifacts.
I still buy CDs. Rip to FLAC for playing at home, MP3 for the iPod, store the CDs somewhere, backup your data both onsite and offsite, and you are set for pretty much any disaster recovery scenario. Plus some bands actually still put out nice booklets with the CDs, it is nice having the physical copy to look at.
If anything replaces the mouse it’ll probably be our own fingers. On a new touch pad like on laptops, just not as sucky and slow.
I think touchscreens will dominate in video games and handheld computers like those fancy new computer tablets by latias.
I don’t want CD to go out simply for the fact that data is corruptable. The last thing I need is my ripped MP3’s on my ripped DVD-r getting corrupted to where I can’t re-rip the fucking source disc to re-do it over.
It’s how it is.
I do agree with fax machines though - someone needs to tell those who use them that the CONFIRMATION LETTER means DICK to those who get the fax, it doesn’t CONFIRM [u]WE[/u] GOT THE FAX, ASSHOLES.
[reply]Worse yet, what if your MP3 gets ran over by a bulldozer? A lot of money down the tubes unless you have it backed up.
You’d figure backing up would further damage the MP3 player considering it’s a bulldozer.

Nah! your mp3 player would be the last thing on your mind. Your body would be completely crushed by a bulldozer, you would look like a bloody pancake.
Just to continue the rant on video shops, the worst thing about them these days is that they will never have what you want to rent on the shelves, but they will inevitably have multiple copies for sale. And when you ask if you could rent one of those, they look at you like YOU’RE the crazy one.
