OK, not really, but I do miss analog. With digital, the cut and paste ruins many compositions. Of course, I say that from the standpoint of mixing CDs which I make by cutting up and pasting other tracks. I also miss album art. Some CD packaging is cool, but it doesn't rival the album art of old and CDs are too small to extract seeds, as if we even have to do that anymore.
I only use CDs. This is because I need to control my music collecting. If you knew how much I sank into my Marley collection - and I know there's still more out there online - well, I just can't go there. If I allow myself the temptation of online music purchasing, that'd be just like heroin for me. Besides, I like wandering through record stores in the same way I like perusing bookstores.
Eventually I'll have to convert, but I'm really hoping to leap frog over MP3's and just skip to the next platform.
