ipods and illegal downloading


I finally gave in and got an ipod over over the summer last year. I was really against them for a long time for some reason. They almost scared me because they are becoming so small and compact. It's almost scary how far technology is going to convenience us. We no longer have to walk around with our big cd player and case full of cds. The scariest thing for me is not buying cds. I know that its cheaper to use itunes or even to download illegally but I really liked buying cds. It wasn't just about the music but the art on the covers and the hard work the band put into making it. I really feel like cds are eventually going to disappear, and music will only be used on ipods and computers. Music won't actually be something thats on a disc.
Since I have gotten an ipod though, i have really enjoyed it. Its small, and easy to carry around. If only all of the accessories for it weren't so expensive!!

I agree fully. I loved buying CDs for the album covers and the inserts. I always feel guilty when I get a new record for my iPod because you don't actually get to hand and look at the art and photos.
