Cw; I can relate. Several different points here though: 1. CDs are incredibly tough rascals-- have you ever tried to break one in half with your bare hands? 2. I like CDs and take just as good care of them as vinyl lovers do their LPs. 3. I have nice long, pleasant listening sessions, but when I'm trying out something new-- even a minor tweak, I sometimes drag out maybe dozens of CDs.
I've got to respectfully disagree with '61 a bit. Even in the early days of LPs, record companies have ALWAYS put filler in with "hit" music, and the same thing happens today with CDs, IMO. Also it's seldom that I find popular CDs with 60-65 min. of music-- most I see are in the 35-45 min. range. And yes CDs have just as much "filler" as LPs do-- but hell, that's what programming, delete, random, repeat, and CD-Rs are for-- IMHO. Cheers. Craig
