CDs vs. iTunes/iPod
Sep 11th, 2008 by Ali
Today, I am updating my iTunes because I would like to get the free TV downloads that are available for now.
I have over 100 CDs I need to put on my iTunes, but that takes too long and I am lazy. I have an iPod Nano that Billy presented to me on my birthday back in 2006, but now that I am out of school, I do not use it except on my iPod alarm clock radio. Plus, the battery is not the best. I haven’t plugged in my iPod into my new computer yet, and I haven’t even changed the songs since the last Feist CD came out (August 2007!). I use my iTunes when I’m on my computer, but I used to use Windows Media before that, and I preferred that layout for the longest time. When I’m not on my computer, I’m driving around listening to my millions of CDs in the car. I tried hooking up my iPod to the car, but every device either broke or got lost, so I gave up.
My music world is separated in two- there’s music I listen to on iTunes and music I listen to on CD. With iTunes, I can get some new music when I have the money, but when I buy a hard-copy of something, I rarely get what’s considered “new music. That’s because everything I buy comes from the thrift store. I get lots of 90s music and whatever junk is found at the Goodwill. Yesterday, I bought a MINT CONDITION Natalie Imbruglia CD. It had never been opened in it’s 11 year history. I also got the Lizzie Maguire movie soundtrack… I didn’t need that. Eh, at least it was cheap. $1.99 for a CD is not too shabby, and over half of my CDs were purchased secondhand.
CDs win forever. I hope they don’t phase them out in the near future.
