iPods vs. CDs

07/11/06 07:35

We love iPods (and all MP3 players) because they help reduce the 20 billion CDs & DVDs produced each year. It's about the music or the movie, not the plastic it's been printed onto for the last 80 years. It's piece of plastic - get over it.

CDs must be made, packaged, shipped, stocked, purchased and brought home. How 20th Century.

OK, CDs sound better than today's iTunes downloads. For classical and some other kinds of music that matters - but not for most, and not forever. Apple's iTunes already supports "lossless" standards that make your iPod sound as good as the CD you ripped - and we think iTunes downloads will shortly have a "good as CD" download option.

"Collecting" CDs? You're joking...

You can buy a good MP3 player for the price of 6 CDs and the music is cheaper. Just Do It.
