CDs, do you still use them?

/beginrandomresponse

No, but I use DVDs still.
Don't really like flashdrives too much.

I have an iPod, so +1.
My car has this little aux connector thing to my iPod, so +1.

Ric: 2, eGO: 0.

I buy almost 100% of my music on CD still, I prefer the better quality sound and also having the music on a physical medium opens up a lot of other applications.

same here...i burn mp3s for my truck..and my g1 phone has a 16G SD for storage.
 
I use them for games, Linux, and occasionally music in the rare cases I buy music. Generally I stream music while on my PC since its legal, and if I'm on the go I just listen to the radio. Perfect sound quality is nice, but you have to love the feeling of hearing static in the background :D
 
I use DVD to burn .ISO's and stuff, besides that nope. :\

Until everyone switches to FLAC, CD's still hold value.

the problem is the future of media will be a closed source world so flac will never become mainstream and music will never be sold in flac.

just look at it now as far as online music sale apple is takeing over and there devices and software dont support any of the open codecs like flac or ogg and they have no intentions to support anything but there own codecs.

it's playing out the excat same way for the next genrations of html and web browsers apple and pressuring for the use of there codec verses the open ogg theora.
 
I have ALL of my music backed up on my external hard drive that i take everywhere with me all 13000 some songs that I have but i still happen to buy cds especially ones that i like a lot just so i have a physical copy and sometimes for the liner note etc. i may also resort to buying cds if i can't find the album anywhere on line. =) but hey im old fashioned I love 60's and 70's and still listen to vinyl thats just me haha

Problem being that mp3 and even ogg are LOSSY, and only Flac can provide a true backup of quality audio, from vinyl or CD.

The thing about FLAC is each song takes up 25 mb, I have my Nirvana collection in FLAC which takes a total of 3.25 gigs for 144 songs. My Pink Floyd, which is in mp3, takes up 3.77 gigs for 341 songs.

I love quality but I have to take account of how much hdd space I want to give.
 
What do I do with CDs...
  1. Buy games from stores on them
  2. Put music onto iTunes, keep as backup
  3. Play games that require CDs
  4. Watch movies

I use them whenever I need to.

the quality is worth it right now my collection takes up over 500gb's

and just be glad it's not broadcast waves at 24bit 96khz a single pro tools session for a single song at that quality usually takes up over 15gb.
 
i still use cds. i like to have something in my hands when i buy a game or music or a movie.
