Dear MSN Music customer...your music is no longer good.

I downloaded a ton of music from iTunes when I first got my iPod a few years ago, but since then I’ve become disenchanted with the quality of it when played through a nice stereo system. I tried the higher-quality music from other stores, but find it still lacks the greatness of the original CD. That’s made me want to never buy e-music again, and I haven’t.

Now, I shop my local Half Price bookstore’s clearance section, where I find hundreds of 80s hits, 90s hits, 50s hits and even quite often music that is only a year or so old, for 99 cents for the full album. Yes, I have to store the CD, but I can rip it at whatever quality I want and I have it forever. A much better solution for the money, IMO. Plus, the hunt for great music is a lot of fun.
