Personally, I dislike listening to music before I buy it - in fact, if I hear it too much, it will slow my acquisition of it, odd as that may seem. I'm sure this is fairly rare, but I really enjoy *buying blind* - then again, I live peaceably with the results. You'd be surprised how good my luck is - or perhaps I have more of a "vested interest" in finding something I like about what I buy. Just curious to see if anyone else has this disease. I'm always asking people in the store NOT to play something for me. On the other hand, if it's on, I WILL ask and usually buy. Perhaps I just like to "discover" things for myself. I've found over the years that the most effective way to turn people on to great things is merely to spin it without saying anything, letting them *find* it for themselves. jeff Rusty Householter wrote: > I can't stand it when people like Gil spout this crap.
