Has paying for downloads become more attractive an option than it was 10 years ago? Do you or would you pay for them?
Vinyl has got stupidly expensive and a lot of things are limited edition now which means you can't always wait to pick them up, CDs are just crappy and excel at nothing, tapes are cheap but kind of require the most faffing around and who has a decent cassette player these days anyway? mp3s aren't limited editon, they're the cheapest and a lot of oop stuff has been reissued on mp3, they're are most convenient in terms of portability because you can put them in your phone. They sound like crap, but so does everything if you listen to it on cheap headphones when you're on public transport. I guess they'll probably become obsolete but I find it hard to imagine they'll become so obsolete that they can longer be used.
So what does everybody else think about it?
ps- by mp3s i mean all digital audio files types.
