Digital Music Is the Future

By Matt Thames


There are many ways to listen to your favorite songs. A record player is a nice start, however , even better than that is an 8-track player. You can easily skip the songs without having to pick up the needle and possibly scratching the vinyl. Better yet is the new, compact audio cassettes. They are very portable and it is possible to even listen to them in your car or truck. Not only is it very portable, they are very efficient and if you don't leave them in the direct sunlight on your dashboard, you should get a few years of worry free musical enjoyment.

Wait a minute, this is not the 80's, and we have much superior choices than these old-fashioned and distorted ways of hearing the music. We're in the digital age and we have significantly superior ways to listen to our favorite music than theses scratchy, old formats. From CDs, which nearly seem old fashioned today, to digital downloads and satellite subscription radio, the ways you can listen to your favorite music and choose a variety of music to listen to has never been better.

Many people still utilize CDs as their favored format to listen to music, but even if they purchase the CD, they will often download it onto another device making it more portable. CDs are portable and somewhat durable, but eventually, after spending too much time bouncing around in your glove box, they can get worn out.

Many people will make a back-up CD to take along in the car for fear of ruining the original disc, but more people are choosing to download the music directly to a more portable device like an MP3 player, and take that device along with them rather than the CD. So many of the new cars and trucks and new stereos have built in plugs to attach your MP3 device, you don't have to worry about lugging a book of CDs along with you everywhere you go.

What is even better is once you get to your destination; you just unplug the device and put it in your pocket for easy listening on the run. A lot of people bypass the entire CD altogether and just download the music from a digital source on their PC or directly onto their portable device. Once it is on the device you can transfer it onto your computer for safe back-up and distribution to different devices if you desire.
