I disagree, I think that the digital age means tracks hang around longer.

Where once you might find a one in a million copy of a now defunct group’s release in a garage, now you can just jump on google and type in their name, and find ANY possible sources, including someone selling an original vinyl.

Last resort is p2p software which will usually yield results.

However, the difference here is that you have to be searching for something specific to find it.

What I love about CD/record digging is that often you invariably find something you weren’t even looking for an think “shit yeah, where have you been all my life!?”

I have great memories of record shopping with my brother in the West Village of NYC back in the 80s. We would hit 5 stores or more. Music certainly seemed to have more value back then. I hope we will see more downloadable PDF art book/record covers with multiple pages coming with digital music releases.

iTunes is actually very handy for printing out artwork plus track listings when making CD sleeves.

I’m “still” DJing with CDR’s. When I burn my tracks to CDs once or twice a month, I create a front sleeve to be included to my CD folder.

- Now I found the tracks faster, because I have something I can attach to visually
- No more reading scrubby text from the surface of the disc.
- They are “more suitable” to put into my old CDR’s collection in a bigger folder.
