that is so annoying, although now I know why a bunch of the songs on my computer have those annoying clicks. What makes it even more annoying is that one of the ones I had this problem with is Goldfinger's latest album, so this is even seeping into to the punk scene. I guess really you can't blame them for doing this though, they would rather have you buy the music than be able to get it for free, even though I hate paying for all the music i listen to. It is good to support the bands you like however and buy their stuff when you can, it's just that there are SO MANY good bands out there that it's impossible to buy everything that you want. It's a no win situation for everybody.
I'd like to hear one of those MP3s with the clicks you're talking about.
But, I think you're missing the point a little bit on this one. Take the Internet and trading music out of the picture here. You won't be able to make quality copies of the CDs for perfectly legal listening in an MP3 player. I've been doing that for years. I would hate to have to go back to listening to CDs. It's so much easier to just do a quick browse for the music you want than to have to dig through CDs and jewel cases looking for the one you want.
My main problem here is convenience.
no ian, i think that YOU are missing the point. You obviously just skimmed my comment without really reading into it's deeper meanings. Talk about making me feel like a loser! Anyways........ yeah that does make sense, convenience is an issue here. But I don't think that this whole cd copying thing will be that big of a problem. if enough people get annoyed about hearing blips in their music, they will make record companies put a stop to it, i mean its enough that they wont let people trade music online right?
