I am a liner notes freak - and printing stuff out just doesn't cut it for me... ultimately, I want something that is non-MP3 in it's original form....if I choose to make MP3s of it for listening on the go, that is my deal, but I like CDs, no doubt. 92195@blogcritics.org Thu, 21 Oct 2004 13:04:18 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/10/20/001757.php#comment-92191 Actually, yes they do still sell a lot of CDs. A couple of weeks ago, Billboard was reporting US CD sales up around 6% versus a year ago. 92191@blogcritics.org Thu, 21 Oct 2004 12:50:42 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/10/20/001757.php#comment-92166 Does anyone even buy discs anymore? Each artist should just crank out liner notes and cover art and tell you where you can burn it and print the former.... 92166@blogcritics.org Thu, 21 Oct 2004 11:15:43 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/10/20/001757.php#comment-91997 I was going to recommend "Original Soundtrack <i>Alfie</i>," but then I realized that the title was a misnomer. 91997@blogcritics.org Wed, 20 Oct 2004 18:24:54 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/10/20/001757.php#comment-91939 I got the Mellencamp, 2 CDs @ 13.99 at Best Buy. It's a nice collection, but you're right, it doesn't have Play Guitar on it! I also noticed it didn't have Big Daddy on there, which I recall getting a bit of radio play.....never really wanted to hear it, until I thought about whether it was on there, and sure enough, it isn't! I just checked, and Play Guitar wasn't on the last collection either - overall, this looks more complete, with the luxury of having 2 CDs to spread it across - looks like Without Expression, which I think was the "new" tune on the last collection, has been omitted on this collection, so if you have the previous best of, I guess you might want to hang on to it. Overall, it's nice to have a collection that collects all of the stuff from all of the labels that he has been on - good to see that they spent the money to license the more recent Columbia stuff. 91939@blogcritics.org Wed, 20 Oct 2004 13:02:09 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/10/20/001757.php#comment-91877 What? No props to Jin, the first Asian American rapper? 91877@blogcritics.org Wed, 20 Oct 2004 04:06:20 EDT
