I've spent waay too much money on cd's over the years. For example, I bought Led Zep's entire back catalogue during the 80's. Some cd's got scratched. You told me they were indestructable! I took care of them!
Then along comes a big box set. Remastered! All my favourite songs, but better! That's about $100 in your money. So I've got the set, then they release all the albums again, but...Remastered! Right, so all the money I spent the first time was wasted, 'Remasters' the box set is now redundant, as I can now hear the albums as they were meant to be heard in both order and sound...If I spend another -ooh- $250.
I've been ripped off until I'm sick, and poor. The fact remains that I will always continue to buy the music I like on cd, because the sound is everything to me, and MP3's (and my reasonable PC setup) are nothing like as good.

To sum up: fuck them.
