I didn't own music until very recently (read: past two years), but once I came to the realization that even if I only like one song on an album, I keep the entire thing for collection's sake, I started buying discs (my only gripe was an anti-filler mantra). I now have a collection I'm very proud of, to the point where I'm planning to make it a summer project one year to build my own storage and holding unit for them.

As for the people that have never owned a music disc: My fiance only has discs that belong to her parents. A close friend of mine only has discs that I gave him. Heck, even a DJ friend of mine only has discs of mixtapes he downloaded online, and swears that he never needs the source material. I'm surprised you're yet to meet someone who has never owned a disc.

I thought he was asking for actual Titanic music, and mentioning releases he found elsewhere. Didn't realize he might be asking for that very specific release.

I mean ever in their lives, not necessarily this day, and not that they had to purchase it themselves. Also, I just assume it was implied, but I was talking about adults (more specifically in this case people who have at least reached the age of 20). For the music I do enjoy, digital music on reusable/cloud media suits purposes just fine, so I wouldn't be surprised if any new adults never found a disc in their collection from this point forward.

The list of albums I can recall purchasing:
Metallica & San Francisco Orchestra (whatever that album was called, S&M I think)
Metallica - Garage Inc. (The stuff from Metallica that I liked)
Sezen Aksu - Deliveren (for a project in my Music in the Middle East class)
Niyaz - Self-titled (listened to it in a Borders once and impulse purchased)

All the other music I had was inherited, gifted or borrowed without return.

Bingo!

Stop calling out for the casual user. What.CD isn't a casual site. If you want to torrent music with no hassles, go join a ratio free site, or demonoid or rutracker. Even better use Soulseek or a Grooveshark/Last.fm scraper, or a Spotify account. The casual user does not care about the quality of their music. What.CD is inherently a site for the non-casual nerd.

hell, most people would be satisfied with listening music on youtube, the selection is great even.

Yes I have a real hankering to hear a 17 year old girl sing Bad Medicine off-key.

Pick one of the devices with 4 unquestionable green "Yes" beside its name.

Rockbox will change how you listen to your music on the go, I promise, and it supports FLAC files, audiosheets and meta data. :)

Here's even a version if you have an Android phone higher than FIRM 2.1. It won't do recording or FM radio (other apps can), but it handles everything else just fine, if you want to test the Rockbox environment before you make your move.

Thanks , what i realize is though my Android can play FLAC but the sound is very low compared to even a mp3
