Revert To Saved Version

Enjoying My New CD

I bought a new CD today: Shine: The Hits by Newsboys. Yes, I still buy CDs, I haven't gone completely over to MP3s just yet. A few months ago a coworker asked me "which media player do you use?" and I hesitantly responded "um... my CD Walkman?" He looked at me as though I were from the Stone Age.

I actually did get into MP3s pretty heavily back during the heyday of Napster, but after my reversion I finally admitted to myself that downloading copyrighted material without paying for it constitutes stealing no matter how hard you try to rationalize otherwise, and there's a pretty clear Commandment on that topic. So I gave it up, albeit reluctantly. Recently I've subscribed to the new (legal) Napster Premium service, which is how I discovered Newsboys. I suppose I could have purchased their music in MP3 form as well, but I still insist that CDs sound better, and I can listen to them in my car. That, and when I shell out $15 I like to get something I can hold in my hand in exchange... perhaps my coworker was right about me after all.
