    Clearly you have a small friend base pal. 19 years later mines still fully loaded and played every day.

    Still the best way to listen to music as it was performed...Yes Neil Young was right all along!

    I remember a conversation in the early days of CDs, when I was doing rigging for rock and roll shows.

    A veteran roady who has worked for Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Eric Clapton etc, was insistent that vinyl and analogue would always survive because, sound being a by product of natural vibration, it was the closest thing to listening to a live band. All the younger guys were calling him an old fossil, saying you can reproduce all that digitally.

    Turns out he was right too.

    I do love my Spotify mind, brilliant invention that. Can’t think of anybody who uses an iPod or even Apple iTunes these days. In fact I’m sure I read recently that iTunes was being scrapped due to the success of Apple Music.

    Exactly guys. When CD's were marketed as the next best thing, there were many fasionable claims levied behind them, some of which turned out to be untrue, one of the main one's being life expectancy, well it appears they are not as infallible as first claimed, and the quality deteriorates that's if it survives at all over time. Let alone they are already outdated in regards to being a recording material. In fact as Ginger has said it turns out the technology wasn't very good at all.

    Still have some of my dad’s old Chuck Berry and Sydney Bechet 45s, and they play perfectly (bit of hiss, which you don’t get on a CD, but much more depth and texture to the sound).

    Problem was, CD's were affected by what I now know was disc rot. You could buy brand new CD's and find certain one's would not play, and these were from top artists and the original albums, so not bought on the cheap. But it was the quality of the CD that was sold to us at a high price that was the problem, not as people used to think, their equipment. If a CD will not play, hold it up to the light - can you see lots of little pin holes? If so, that will be the reason it will not play and it all occurred in the manufacturing process, so of all the millions made from sales, will consumers ever get their money back, not a chance. Some will say it's down to storage, but that is only a preventative measure of rot, not the reason it was fooked in the first place, that fault layed at the hands of lacquering process.

    In other words, they mass produced the product on the cheap, and ripped off the consumer.

    Don’t you just love capitalism?

    Yup that is exactly what happened, I will not name the companies but rest assured it was the big ones. Now they could claim the lacquering process was not their fault, but the point is they knew about the problem, although i couldn't be sure how soon they knew the cause. So even if you had a dodgy CD, you could go back and change it, only for it to be replaced by another dodgy CD, and all the time consumers were thinking it was their equipment at fault.

    But yes, mass produced on the cheap, sold for top dollar = one ripped off consumer, and they want to talk to us about piracy, oh my heart bleeds.

    No!

    Sound system in a car (mine anyway) is a million times better than on a phone.

    I think people are getting confused by this thread.

    I didn't say 'who likes to purposely get into a car to listen to music!'

    What I meant was 'who on a journey enjoys a album so much that they end up taking a longer route, or going slower'.

    Maybe none of you!

    I do quite a lot of miles and enjoy my music.

  20. Doesn't apply to me as I don't drive but I get it entirely. Oh and I have an MP3 player as I go for walks often of 5-8 hours at a time so want to save the phone battery. And Sony is vastly superior to Apple imho...
