MD: Digital music survey

[David Fincher]

I was excited yesterday when Harris contacted me to participate in a
poll about the future of digital music.  Being an avid md user, I
thought I'd get a chance to plug md for this nationwide poll.  Instead,
I found not ONE question about MD.  It was all about MP3.  It asked a
question such as, "What devices do you use to listen to music," and MD
was not even a choice.  This survey took about 15 minutes to fill out,
and there wasn't even one place where a respondent could offer any
answer besides those already provided.  Needless to say, I rated mp3 as
poorly as possible.  One question that stuck out to me was, "Which of
the following digital music players would you be more likely to buy:
One with 32MB memory for $149, a 64MB unit for $199, a 96MB unit for
$239, or a 128MB unit for $269."  There was no other option.  I couldn't
continue the survey without checking one of the boxes, even though I
wouldn't buy any of them.

I guess this could be interpreted 2 ways:  Either the people making this
poll think that md is out for the future of digital music, or else they
are clueless.

Anyway, I thought you might be interested to see just another way md is
left out of the places where it belongs.

IT just goes to show how people want it faster. Speed isn't everything.
People are dumb. Face it, even with IQ's above normal, we're all dumb.
Some people would rather download 30 minutes of bad quality music and go
rather than take time day before a trip, take that evening, record some
music to a MD and just relax while the whole process is going on. I do
that, even as I type this, I got some John Prine going onto MD on the
good stereo (yes, this JVC has real nice, clean tape/MD output, too bad
it's not digital tho. Now I wish I could get my universal remote to
operate the MD deck

J.R. --too much time on his hands, reconfigures the stereo for fun.
