I'm willing to pay for a CD.
I am not willing to pay for MP3 files.
I like CDs. I like having the whole package, and then opening it up and experiencing it.
I love my wall of CDs.
I download MP3 files all the time, but never entire CDs. I buy those if they are good.
If MP3 files that you have to actually pay money for ever really replace CDs, I'd be unbelievably pissed off.
People probably felt similarly about cassette tapes, but cassette tapes are much, much better than MP3 files. You can't hold an MP3 file in your hand. You can't go to the store, open up an MP3 file, and anticipate getting home and listening to them. Downloading them is just not the same... There's no package. No plastic. You can't put them on your shelf. MP3s themselves are a great way to preview music you've never heard of, but MP3s replacing CDs would be terrible.
Anyone feel the same way? Do you think they ever will actually replace CDs?
