Selling ice to eskimoes

I bought In Rainbows on CD at the weekend despite having paid £3 to download it when it came out.  So I’ve now paid £13 to get the same album twice.  Am I officially an idiot?

It does raise an interesting issue regarding the endless debate about the impact of music downloads on the industry. Evidence that people really do prefer to purchase a CD when it comes to bands they particularly like.

It is the fact that the band here are whiny singing goblins that makes the answer to your question obvious to me. :-P

There’s also the fact that the MP3s were only 160kbps as well. Still, at least I didn’t piss away £40 on the disc box thingy.

Why did you get the 2nd one? Was it the album artwork? Better quality sound?

Don’t feel bad. I own some of the same movies on DVD and VHS. I often wonder why I bothered with that (Oh ya, the quality of VHS tapes that are 10 years old is shite…)
