    Howdy,

    What is the best music store/service from which one could buy music? :)
    Do you prefer CDs, LPs, tapes or mp3, AAC, FLAC, etc?
    Perhaps you can enlighten the public about some new fancy audio format that we all should listen to? :)
    How big is your musical collection and you what is your favorite stile of music?
    Enough questions, eh? :lol:

    I use apple music.

    Like 5 bucks a month and you get whatever you want.

    Just type in an artist and it will bring up all their songs or group them according to their hits and you can play away.

    The search feature is really spectacular.

    I just use my phone and Bluetooth speakers.

    I need two votes but was restricted to one. I prefer to buy CD's and burn copies to use in the car.

    My lads showed me how to convert YouTube to MP3.

    Those are my two options. The only trouble is, I rarely bother with music. When I do, it's lasts for about 2 days.

    It's not mine but I do own a McIntosh stereo system ($20 K early 1980 era.) All of the amps and preamps are vacuum tubes.
    All of the high end McIntosh stereo systems still use vacuum tubes.

    Only vacuum tubes can reproduce the sounds of an instrument when you close your eyes you can't tell if you are listening to recorded music or if someone is ten feet in front of you actually playing the instrument.

    One problem with vacuum tubes, they no longer cost a few dollars to replace but hundreds of dollars.

    Google Play Music. I buy CDs if I want to be able to listen to them on road trips.

    My McIntosh amp has two burned out tubes.

    Haven't used it in years.

    One thing about high end stereo systems you have to have a place with good acoustics to hear what you are suppose to hear.

    Drywall walls aren't the best choice for listening to music.
