I guess it depends on whether you like new music or old music

Well I like new music, but mostly indie rock and a bit of electronic and new wave, so probably a lot of stuff you haven't heard of, and mostly stuff that doesn't play on the radio.
So yeah, not a fan of RnB. I guess SE sponsoring it is a good start, but most of the crowd that's into that kind of music are probably teens that think Telecom is the greatest network on earth because it has $10 text...

Well I like a bit of everything - My CD collection includes Mario Lanza, Audioslave and Culture Beat...  I'm mostly into Modern Rock and Dance/Electronica hence Rihanna appeals, especially 'Don't stop the music' but Chris Brown less so as I'm not so into R 'n' B.
Last year SE ran a W880 competition on GeorgeFM, but I didn't win 
SE could do worse than sponsor concerts and radio stations when promoting  phones.

Yeah, my favourite bands are Muse, Kings Of Leon, MGMT, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Interpol, The Faint, Kasabian, Pendulum, The Shins and Unkle.
You won't find anything even remotely resembling RnB in there.

Yeah I don't really listen to the radio. I buy all my music which is why when I quit my current job soon, I'm going to try for a new job at the CD and DVD store.

Of course mate.
Yeah, first I gotta get the job. I think I'll give them my CV when I go in there later this month to get the new Kings Of Leon.
I always buy CDs and convert them myself, so I have a large-ish CD collection. I like being able to have a physical collection of music rather than (sometimes crappy) files on a computer.

Me too. Plus with CD's you get to decide what you want to do with them and what devices to put them on. With MP3s you get dictated to an awful lot and basically only rent what you though you purchased...
People must be getting sick of losing access to music they downloaded to phones once the lose or upgrade thier phone, I know I am.

Yeah, that too. It's so easy to delete or lose downloaded music.
I also like having the booklet and album art that comes with a CD. To me, that is all part of the CD and the music.
Good to see you back carkitter.

Thanks!
I've been dealing with exams and assignments and study for both... you know the drill.
I always enjoy reading the lyrics in the booklet to get a handle on what the song is about - except on Dance/Electronics tunes with minimal lyrics of course.
Did you hear about the inspiration behind "I'm On Call"?
Apparently the lead singer of Kings of Leon was perplexed about why his 'awesome' songs didn't take off so he listened a little closer to what does chart well and found that some of the most popular songs are basically just 3 words repeated. He tried it out with "I'm on call" and "I'll be there" and the rest is history...
I spent a few hours yesterday re-encoding all my CD's using iTunes at the default 128 bps. My eldest son just bought an iPod Nano, I'm looking seriously at an iPhone 3G and the V640i (now sporting an 8GB M2 ) is perfectly happy using AAC too. iTunes is not bad - its a little annoying how it wants to send you to the iStore all the time, but overall I like it. Have you downloaded Version 8.0 yet? Interesting new aa genre grid design to suit the forthcoming new iPods.
Speaking of album art, can you put aa from your CD's onto iTunes without an iStore account?
