What is your favorite format for listening to music on? MP3, CD, 8 Track...? I like listening to records personally, but I have to say that they aren't convienient enough. I'm not a big fan of MP3's, so I would have to say that my favorite portable format is CD's, but if I'm just listening at home, I like to put a 33 on.

By the way, for other people who like vinyl, you can order music from many bands(Even new ones. I got "Jungle of the Midwest Sea" by Flatfoot 56 which was released in 2007) on a record format from tower.com.  

Yeah, my dad did the same thing to some old records, but he edited out all the really bad pops with a wave editor. I'm not that in to computers, so I don't do that stuff. I can hook up all kinds of audio equipment, but once you get it into the computer, that's where I'm done.

love the vinyl, but it has to be mp3 if you're moving around alot. i keep the original quality as well as the perfect versions of the songs...sometimes i have to listen to a live verion of a particular song - there might be just one time a band have played a song THAT well, and you've got to hear it as raw as when you taped it.

for sakes of nostalgia I would say vinyl,if I had any left "sold my record collection for drugs in the nineties sometime" but now my shits together again my record collection is increasing once more in CD form I like the Mp3 but theres something close to vinyl about putting a few discs onto a player.

Live recordings are great. The version of "Heartbraker" on Zeppelin's "How the West was Won" in my opinion is better than any other version I have heard. I just love it when a great guitarist just starts throwing stuff out there and it sounds great. I'm not as interested in the 20 minute drum solo though later on the record. That must have been a beer break for everybody else.
