Comment on With which medium do you listen to Ska music? by Joe

Hi Jon,
that’s more or less what I do. Buy CDs, convert them for the use in the computer (and ipod) and let them catch dust. Not sure whether this is clever, but I think mp3s are more expensive than they should be. My favorite way to spend money on music would be: Buy vinyl in connection with the right to download the songs. Never really liked cds, my heart is with vinyl.
Anyway, thanks for your comment.
Joe

I put .mp3 since technically I only listen to digital music files. I rarely buy music digitially however. I buy CDs, encode them (Lossless for the stereo, compressed for the iPod), and file the CD away as a backup copy. I prefer a couple things about CDs, first the liner notes, and secondly sound quality (with CDs I can control the quality of the digital music I use). I own thousands of LPs and 45s but I almost never purchase that format anymore for the two simple reasons – I filled up my record shelves and don’t want to (and the wife probably wouldn’t let me) get additional storage and digitizing vinyl is a pain. I’ve done a few hundred of my albums and have a 10 year plan to get them all encoded digitally, since that suits the way I listen to music more (commuting to work, at work, in the kitchen when I’m cooking, etc.)

Hi Vlado,
thanks for the comment. “Hate. The other side of love”, sounds good. I will give it a try. Decline. Destruction.
How about stating the opposites?

“I’ll be loved, or I’ll be hated
Ignored, hotly debated
Put down or elavated
Left cold, infuriated. …”

Just a beginning.

hi joe,
very honest remarks. i liked them.
suggestions? one of cohen´s album was titled “songs of love and hate”. there´s been enough love, what about a joe telling us about the other side of the “river jordan”, e.g. hatred, decline, forms of dying, hope beneath destruction, whatever …
u don´t have to live it, but it´s certainly worth singing about, ain´t it?

kind and warm regards
vlado
