Where's there is an individual achievement, there's a force waiting to exploit it.

Biters.

In short I would always prefer physical media rather than a digital DL or a stream from the interweb....nothing better than reading liner notes and enjoying the artwork from the cd/record. The fact the artist gets treated as they do from places like this disappoints me no end after all the hard work that goes into the music.....I guess things must move on and change to a certain extend but we can never forget history.

Some great posts in here! I too am not surprised by the blatant whoring-out of music artists by their labels. I guess once a label "owns" an artists rights, they see any opportunity(no matter how little it may be... 1 cent really?) as a good one. Just like they don't necessarily care if the "sound quaility" is up to par. I for one would rather be in the SHIP that I am in right now, and yes I say ship not boat because this P ship is capable of doing tremendous things and has already... no boat could handle that!

Personally I have been on last.fm since 2005. Initially, I used this service to find new artists based off of recommendations from the music that I was already listening to. Another cool feature is that after creating a profile you can then track your own personal listening history and charts, I like this a lot. Now I use it to find new music by scoping my friends "charts" (I get turned on to music the last.fm logarithm wouldn't associate). We could also create a P-Forum listening Group and track each others playlists... Last thing, you can stream your own past playlists or your friends too,or a groups for that matter.

I have a really hard time buying music through online services for 1 shear fact: Typically the MP3 compression rate is of low quality (anything > 192kbps) and a CBR(Constant Bit Rate). Preferably, I try to buy V0 copies which have a Variable Bit Rate and give you that broad sound spectrum comparatively. Best case scenario is I buy the physical copy my-damn-self and RIP it with EAC, setup @ V0 specs, then put it in my phone and resume to roll with the P!
