    I know there was. I own vinyl myself, and still have audio cassettes, some great mix tapes that I made in my youth.
    I've actually done quite a bit of recording audio-in and splitting up tracks before. I saved a rare Chick Corea tape for a friend that was about to wear-out by digitising it.

    It's not you, I just hate audio snobs who simply must have everything in FLAC etc. To me music is so much more about the message than the medium. I'm not a fan of having nostalgic attachment to a medium, it seems strange to me.

    BTW have you looked for the albums you own on something like spotify? there is a huge catalog on there and it's pretty simple to record music direct to mp3, much like taping from the radio. and it doens't feel ileagal or traceable like bit torrent.

    there, a serious reply!

    • fair point, but to me music is about the medium too. The artwork, the tangability of owning a peice of music. You can never truly own an mp3, your computer owns ittoe_knee
    • can never truly own an mp3 as it sits in a digital domain. I still buy vinyl and I love it. Maybe nostalgic, but also for the love of the mediumtoe_knee
