    Did you buy all your music legally or not?

    What do you think of the idea for an encrypted music player that will take a library and totally convert the files into an encrypted one that only it can play + which have an auto-destruct. So let's say you wanted to hide your music so only you knew about it? Is this something you'd be interested in?

    PS can this poll be made private

    Most new music absolutely sucks ass. I buy new stuff I actually like, and just listen to the so-so stuff incidently on the radio/utube/wherever.

    Then I've got my old tapes and CDs that I will listen to more often.

    I only listen to music from 60s-70s-80s, just my preference. New music kind of sucks but maybe because the people making it grew up on mp3s. They really are an abomination.

    This depends on what you mean by "illegal". I go to youtube and watch the music there and while doing so I record the material for later use. Since youtube is a free service I feel that by recording what it plays, just as radios do, I don't really "download" stuff illegaly.

    I pay big money to buy legal only music and give out money for tax purposes as well.

    Yeah, because I want the whole CD with the lyrics.
    I remember being in high school and buying the album or cassette was a big deal. I remember where I was when I heard a certain song and where I bought the album. It was about the whole experience.

    The problem is that CD's cost 15.00 and only a few songs on it are worth anything to listen to.

    $15? LOL. Its not that much compared to the hrs of enjoyment it gives me. And I hear songs (even crappy ones) I never would have bothered with other wise. Its about the whole experience, not saving money.

    2 or 3 good songs are worth the difference between 30-40mb's of data compared to 3-4mb's.

    I uploaded most of my old music from my phonograph into my HD. That way I have thousands of songs I've already bought before online and share them with my friends as well. The art work on the old albums from the 60's was very beautifully done unlike todays little artwork, if any , on CD's.

    There's a patch cord you can by that goes from the amp to the PC.

    The single plug goes to you line-out on your sound card the other end goes to the amplier.

    I think about 99.9% of my music is legal, and I'm not sure about the other .1%. I don't want LimeWire on my computer.

    You do know that making donations to create tax deductions is a misinformed way to keep more of your money, right?
