What is this? Luddite Troll Month?

What the fuck is with this board and all these "ooh, MP3/iPod is really shit because..." and then citing a reason so personal and so insane that one can only stare at your screen in disbelief.

Reasons such as:
- too much choice
- my business is going to go under thanks to you kids and your meddaling MP3 players
- sound quality is shit
- cassettes sound better
- carrying around a discman and a stack of CDs is better
- you can skip album tracks
- the playlist option is there and so it means I can avoid listening to albums all the way through

You'd be hard-pressed to find a more ridiculously contrived list of non-issues/problems outside of right-wing UK party's maifesto.

The only genuinely decent argument I've seen for a discman is the ability to play an album straight from the shops...

Jeez...
