CDs! Philip's was actually looking at suing Sony Music (one of the worst
perpetrators), I'm just glad that all my favorite jazz records are coming
back out on vinyl, I'm so fed up with what the record companies are doing
to CDs I'm looking at getting a nice turntable with digital output and
getting back into vinyl, so I can "rip" a perfect copy by digitally
recording copies of all my records.
