audio tape cassette. There's an amazing range of designs, starting from the early 60's functional cassette designs, moving through the colourful playfulness of the 70's audio tapes to amazing shape variations during the 80's and 90's.

Lets not forget whilst CD-Rs may be a disposable substitute, they're widely a disposable substitute for the 'most disposable of formats'; CD's. I'd never really have anything on CD-R unless I had it or will have it on vinyl or cassette.

It's music. Who gives a shit what format it's on. Just enjoy sound.

I think the idea of any format having charm is full of shit. Fuck your hipster nostalgia (or self-trained retro-nostalgia).

And I know that I won't ever listen to a burned CD - whereas I often listen to MP3 albums.

I think that's because the MP3 is totally decontextualised from the whole packaging: that's just a MP3 folder - even if it has the cover art on it. With the burned CD, you have an object - but I feel like it's not the real thing. I prefer having the whole packaging when I have an object.

Do you get my point? Do you feel the same about burned CDs (or asked differently: am I a psychomaniac)? Or more generally, what is your relation to packaging?

I understand the way you feel, in a way, but not to that extent.

And yes, tapes have a hell of a lot of charm. Coloured vinyl does, too, in a very different way.

cd-r releases can be good; i've gotten vinyl releases that look ten times shittier than the shittiest cd-r releases i've ever had.

i wo't dignify answering "omg!! i hate burnt mp3s, like wtf?" because it's stupid.

I know, atsonic, I mean I don't have the best taste in music. However I like anything will listen to anything, whether it be Techno(current) rock, jazz, noise, pop, rap, etc... Music is music enjoy it whatever forms it comes from.

i have shifted, since i stopped working and started studying from a material collector to an aural collector.
i dont have the funds to buyt that many cds anymore, but i constantly listen to music.
and i must say after a while you sopt missing the physicalness of a release and start enjoying the music for what it is, music, with no preconceptions based on packaging and record label...

i still love buying music, but i dont always have the funds

same goes for me. I am a student and can just buy a couple of cds from time to time, but I like to spend my money for that, I really enjoy it, I never wanted to say that listening to mp3s is bad or something, its just that if I can afford it I will buy it (same with the whiskey)
