My son has had one for a couple of years , and asked for a new model this
Christmas. Of course his mom ran right out and plopped down $400.00 +
taxes
for it.
It was a lot cheaper back in the days of the old 45s.

Not sure about that. Most of the music kids have is pirated stuff.

They're shooting themselves in the foot by doing that. In interviews, lots
of musicians complain that they go to the trouble to create albums, not just
individual songs. Some kids never get to hear the albums. And, they never
see liner notes, which can lead to new musical discoveries. Buy an album,
and find that maybe it's got Victor Wooten on bass. Buy a Victor Wooten
album, and discover a drummer you like. Buy his album, and find a guitarist
you never heard of. Pretty soon, you're broke, but you have lots of great
music.

Exactly! I like having the liner notes from CD's. I'm sometimes amazed
at who has played on certain songs with the lead artist, who produced,
etc.
