YUK!
Pay for mp3s ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
The album I tested with was only cheaper at one place than a shiny disc filled with uncompressed versions.
I would have mp3s for free - but pay ;D ;D ;D ;D
But then the big companies miss judged the market with better than CDs - OK I bought a few SACD and DVD-A but the market went to compressed crap >:( >:( >:( >:(

Yep. Support sales of uncompressed music, because when they stop selling CDs we're screwed. :(

Is there any decent music these days?

I am almost tempted to look for a decent turntable.
But CD is easy for the car.
I am happy to pay £5 for a decent album on CD

There exist decent recordings that I don't own yet. Few of them are recent, admittedly. That's another problem. ::)

Oh dear, that went down well ;D ;D

It's OK - just that a lot of us like our music to sound good - and it was a good way to confirm for an album - stick to a CD

When you say "decent", are you talking audible quality or just what you happen to like?
If the former, nobody in their right mind is going to pay when it's been out there for 10 years plus.
The latter....that's personal choice.
You want music....talk to me nicely and I might consider giving you an FTP account to a server that has so much music (in FLAC format of course) that you would be dead of natural causes before you got to the end of the list even if you started listening from the day you popped out of your mothers vag ;)

Digital audio (and that inclued the 4 TB of crap I have in FLAC) is wank....end of story.
You want quality audio...youi need to stay analogue IMO.

There are likely to be bad examples of both but there is no justification for digital not being able to reproduce the same signal as analogue. The benefit comes in resilience, longevity and ability to copy perfectly. Also 're-purposing' where digital can easily be down-rezzed for portable listening etc.

To be honest CD is limited but it is difficult to buy better than CD now.
SACD seems to have died a death and DVD-Audio has disappeared.
Records are fine for first play
-
Thinking about it are there any modern decent bands.
The reality show winners seems to have taken over the market. The rock bands have broken up, retired, or release, 1 record a decade.
My last CD purchase was the most recent Def Leppard record, prior to that a Deep Purple SACD I found cheap!
