I think it was mainly b/c of Amazon MP3. It just makes purchasing music so easy. Never on graphite shafts! Let's definitely talk about the 93% of what you don't understand sometime soon! @Dad the whole switch from buying CDs to not CDs has come on rather suddenly. I think it was mainly b/c of Amazon MP3.

Never on graphite shafts!

Let’s definitely talk about the 93% of what you don’t understand sometime soon!

Just 4 weeks you were firmly committed to purchaing the physical CD. I mean "really" committed. It's great to see your continued growth and flexibility and ability to remain open to new possibilties. Who knows where this will take you! Maybe graphite shafts!!! While I only understand about 7% of what you are talking about I would like to talk to you more about this..........offline!

I was really deterred from digital music early on because the sound quality was just not good (you could clearly tell a difference between an iTunes song vs. a song played from a CD). Again, Amazon fixed this with great sounding mp3s. @Emily you bring up a great point – sound quality.

Lots of great free songs (Albert Hammond Jr! The Streets!) and the sound quality can't be beat. I have been converted. Just checked out Amazon mp3 for the first time.

Amazon really was the deciding factor. It's just too easy not to utilize. It's just about perfect. I completely agree with the iTunes thing...although I use the Zune software. I don't know iTunes works, but with Zune they do that stupid point thing. Just tell me how the freakin song is. Plus it's DRMed...so yeah Amazon solves this problem again. Xbox really just put the icing on the cake. I can listen through good speakers without moving any hard drives or crap. Just load it up. @Zach Yup…since I’m giving up it looks like CDs are dead.

You were the only person I knew who still passionately bought albums in CD form - and I think you single handedly kept the music industry alive. Having said that - I'm glad to hear that you're switching over to downloads. It just makes more sense! For me, it really took the AmazonMP3 market. Your reasoning behind DRM is HUGE for Amazon, giving straight and raw mp3 files. What I also love is that a) the downloads are AMAZINGLY fast - near instant. And b) I don't need iTunes to do it. I think iTunes is a handy piece of software with a nice interface and great organization options... that takes up half of my computer's RAM to work. Sometimes I just want to listen to a song, not bog down my computer. And also: Yeah, Xbox media center extender is fantastic. When I moved to the city and got rid of my car- I stopped listening to music much- until I really started utilizing Xbox. Now- I use the Xbox for listening to music just as much as playing games. It's awesome. Lastly- while I'm rambling - another awesome thing about Amazon's downloads- are the deals and free songs it offers every day through <a href="http://www.amazon.com/MP3-Deals/b/ref=amb_link_5858582_4?ie=UTF8&node=678551011&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=left-1&pf_rd_r=1D2XVZVGASSR0SPJVDQY&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=469726631&pf_rd_i=163856011" rel="nofollow">this page here</a>. For example - today, for VDay weekend - Marvin Gaye's <a>Let's Get it On</a> is free. Enjoy! Well, I guess that means it’s official: CDs are dead.

You're the only person I know who actually still buys CDs! Now there will be no one left. How sad. But you love CDs! You’re the only person I know who actually still buys CDs!
