I'm an mp3 guy. Was late on Napster/file sharing - but the iPod was the dream. Ripping Library CDs, finding free blog downloads. YouTube to MP3 bootlegs. Putting most of my music on shuffle. Making infinite playlists. Still buy mp3 from iTunes/Bandcamp. Still connect my iPod to my laptop

I got most of my CDs from Columbia House/BMG for many years right up until their end.
