One offer is 500 lps for 400$, all Apple lossless, music that I will listen to. While this will raise the hackles of many (and that is fine), this seems a good price all around. i have another offer as well, but no as keen on the music, but 300 albums for 300. Seems this is a viable (if underground) source of files, without exposing myself to the vagaries of download. Opinions (fire away). |

I don't buy music out principles or scruples, I do it because I like collecting CD's. |

It sucks storing all of them after a while, but it's kind of like having a physical paper book versus the new digital book readers that are out on the market. There's something about having the physical product in your hand that adds to the experience. If you're desperate for music and you don't want to pay, do the bit-torrent thing like David said? You're already being risky by even putting out an add like that. I personally buy my stuff legitimately, but that's just me. Good luck. _______________ http://www.highestratedearbuds.com/ |
