I can <I>understand</I> it coming from a godless hedonistic materialist like you, but I am surprised that someone as spiritual Mr. Cohen doesn't appreciate that it is the inner beauty (the soul of the music) that matters, not the outward form. I suppose everyone's in favor of restraint, except for their own sybaratic urges.Susan's Husbandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02862667802025231163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32636283.post-1161195991287356512006-10-18T14:26:00.000-04:002006-10-18T14:26:00.000-04:00SH:You just don't get it, do you?SH:<BR/><BR/>You just don't get it, do you?Brithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00390560583798960760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32636283.post-1161191951258603232006-10-18T13:19:00.000-04:002006-10-18T13:19:00.000-04:00You guys are such fuddy-duddies.

They are so much better as bits on a hard disk. I have as many copies as I like, playing the music is far more convenient, and the kids can't scratch them up. Better in every single way.Susan's Husbandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02862667802025231163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32636283.post-1161189863704545342006-10-18T12:44:00.000-04:002006-10-18T12:44:00.000-04:00Please.

Itunes is great for the odd song you like from an artist you otherwise aren't fussed about, but I take immense pleasure in contemplating my heaving shelves of CDs, and in fondly fondling my gatefold LPs.Brithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00390560583798960760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32636283.post-1161175950866527732006-10-18T08:52:00.000-04:002006-10-18T08:52:00.000-04:00Brit: And for me that point is confirmed by iTune...Brit: And for me that point is confirmed by iTunes. I'm not nearly the music fan that I am a reader and iTunes is fine for me, but it's still less satisfying to have a hard drive full of songs then to have cases of LPs and CDs.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16902329503560660425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32636283.post-1161160829040915292006-10-18T04:40:00.000-04:002006-10-18T04:40:00.000-04:00Most book readers are also book lovers.People who ...Most book readers are also book lovers.<BR/><BR/>People who would be as happy to have a single electronic device as a shelf or indeed basementful of books, are not book lovers.<BR/><BR/>So the electronic devices will have a small market: book readers who don't love books.Brithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00390560583798960760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32636283.post-1160970829190071922006-10-15T23:53:00.000-04:002006-10-15T23:53:00.000-04:00Deal with it?
