>> with sssoul, When you buy cd boots are you not buying some cd's that were made by burning mp3 files? <<
no - i don't trade for mp3 bootlegs. like i said: i don't want mp3s on my cds.
(and i don't buy bootlegs, i trade for them. i buy official releases.)
>> ssoul: I assumed that the source is an original copy, not an MP3 that was already compressed. <<
i understand that's what you were thinking, Gcassan, and i think your suggestion is fine *if* people have the capability -
but as we see, for various reasons not everyone can comply with it.
which i personally also think is fine, because (as i noted) i don't treat downloads as a main source of music.
i only piped up at all because it was sort of starting to sound like some people feel some of us are thoughtlessly doing something to hurt the music,
and that's not always the case. some of us are very appreciative of good non-lossy stuff, even if we're not equipped to upload everything in that form.
