Why would you buy a cd, or ipod if you can listen to it on myspace?

Why would you buy a cd player/cd, ipod, or mp3 player if you could just hop online and listen to the song for FREE on myspace music? Or youtube?=[Yes...I understand you can't lug around your computer with you. But ipods and mp3 players cost so much, and only hold so much memory...

yes, wellcome to the new reality....why are you sad in your avatar???...............

Because I can't run with my laptop strapped my hip

So you can listen to it whenever you want

you can carry an ipod where ever you want and listen to music watch videos n stuff!

you can listen to your ipod anywhere, and take it with you. But i can see your point...

So you can get stuff not available on youtube, myspace, etc. So you can listen in your car, on a plane, or wherever you go that doesn't have a computer and internet connection.

Because sometimes people don't have an internet connection at home and they use the library or a friend's computer. Not all music is on YouTube or MySpace. The artwork in the CD is cool to own. So that you can listen to the music in your car...etc.

u can play it ofline, burn, and play it on the move!

because you can't listen to myspace while your on the train.

Well, as you said, my space is only as portable as your PC. Without it, you can't choose where to listen to the music. You HAVE to listen to it at home and with the coming of summer, most of us won't spend a whole lot of time at home. Besides, Mp3 players really aren't that expensive anymore as long as you're not too picky about what brand you have. Some generic brands cost about 20 bucks and work very well. True, they don't have all of the capabilities of an Ipod, but if you don't need those features, going cheap gives you portable music without all of the cost. My space and their ilk are good for discovering new music to like, but to make it portable, you need to have a player or at the very least, the CD. Another thing that makes a hard copy of music (such as CD, on a computer transferable file or Mp3 player) is the fact that it's permanent. If My Space loses the music for some reason (and it has happened), having the stuff you like on a personal copy allows you to have it without worrying about if the artist will take the music out of circulation. I prefer to burn the stuff I like on CD's because sometimes computers crash, mp3 players break and web sites fail, but as long as you're careful with your Cd's, you'll always have a copy.My opinion.
