A Hangout Music Item
| 
Jun 23 16:29 UTC 1999 |
Hi, most of you know me as the old geezer who helps to host the
Grex music conference. This item is not linked there; I'm curious
to find out what sort of music Hangout readers are listening to.
I'm also curious about how many of you are seriously using MP3 files,
and if that has cut into your acquisiting of CDs or cassettes.

My personal music preference tends to lean mostly toward Oldies, but I
will listen to just about everything. I don't know why I like Oldies,
but I just do.
I have a few MP3's, and I am looking for more. I don't have enough yet
to cut into my CD buying habits. My cassete buying habits are pretty
much dead anyways.

I like a wide assortment of music. The only stuff I don't like is the
rap that sounds repetitive or is littered with racial slurs and
cuss-words.

As far as types of music im interested in i would say im very eclectic,
anything from a depressive depeche mode to a fast paced and ruff KMFDM. or
a trip hop bass based band like portishead, I myself use mp3's quite
frequently and think they have influenced me to buy albums instead of the
popular view of the mp3 listener who is only in it for free music, I was glad
to see cdnow and musicblvd merge, as i tend almost always to download the mp3
samples rather than the realaudio ones because the quality is much better and
they dont cut out as i have an option to fully download them instead of stream
the data, Another thing with mp3s is that they have allowed many unknown bands
to get thier works better well known such as through mp3.com, places like
these are very important to me because i find it harder to identify with much
of the pop artists these days and dont like most of hte music on the radio
and the mp3s alow me to search for myself who i like instead of the people
with all of the money!
