Daisy,

I own a SanDisk MP3 Player, just can't imagine myself giving Apple the money for something that I have to pay 50 bucks for when the battery dies. The only reason I ever bought one is because I used to work in a library and spent many hours alone at the end of every quarter shelving books. The music helped break up the drone and gave me a good rhythm to work with. On the other hand, at home we still have infinity speakers and a turntable. Some albums just don't sound the same when digitalized (CD or MP3). Examples include Peter Paul and Mary's Reunion and Neil Diamond's Hot August Night. They just aren't the same. Same goes for my old soundtracks from the 50s and 60s like Music Man and Robin and the Seven Hoods.

The only things I really like on CD or MP3 is music that came out digitally. Even then, some of the early digital works like Paul McCartney's Tug of War still sound more natural on vinyl.
