With all due respect to my friend DolFan, I think "all but dead" is something of an exaggeration. There are tons of very good music out there - music by and for grownups. Granted, it doesn't get as much mainstream exposure as the bubble-gum stuff and mass-market pablum, but it's still there (and easily available on iTunes, certain uncooperative bands like Tool notwithstanding). My personal taste runs to fairly sophisticated alternative/progressive/post-punk/metal/jazz, and I'm always encountering good new stuff (or discovering music from the '90s that flew under my radar when it was new). Sometimes I have to wander off the beaten path to find it, but that's part of the fun. My only complaint is that digital recordings are still generally inferior, soundwise, to analog recordings. -- Submitted By: (Soggy9000) on April 21, 2011, 2:32 am - (-1 votes)

Don't blame the iPod, blame the music industry for suddenly refusing to create any "artists" who appeal to anyone over the age of 14. Am I the only one who finds it ironic that a device that can download and store thousands of songs is now popular during a time when the music industry and music in general is all but dead?

But from that ONE CD, you might see you like the other songs as well and discover a favorite new band! (And I refuse to pay over $20.00 for a CD, unless it's a 2-CD set.) -- Submitted By: (Stephanie) on February 25, 2010, 11:25 am - (1 votes)

Steph, I would blame that on the music industry gouging the people for CD's today. 20 bucks just so you can get a CD to listen to one song you want to hear? No thanks, I'll just download that song off the net for a dollar or two (or possibly free), and put that on my iPod. -- Submitted By: (PYLrulz) on February 25, 2010, 12:52 am - (0 votes)

OK, I get the whole "convenience" factor of an iPod. It's an advanced walkman, basically, that one can carry with them anywhere. Download whatever and listen to it, whenever. However, the sad thing is, there is an entire generation of people who will never know the joy of buying an entire album/CD just for one song. They will never experience reading liner notes, getting to know about the artist(s) while listening to said album/CD.
iPod's have done to true music appreciation what email has done to hand-written letters. -- Submitted By: (Stephanie) on February 24, 2010, 11:35 am - (0 votes)
