And then there are some of us who do have computers with these
capabilities, but fucking hate listening to music on their computer.
That's what my stereo is for, godammit! I'll listen to CDs on my CD-ROM
drive at work, but that's it. MP3s are a pain in the ass, except to get an
idea if I need to own a CD or not.

Maybe I'd feel different if I had a CD burner... but then again, I have
enough 'spotter friends who can burn rare shit for me, so why bother?
