[Poll #1133858]

I ask because I've not bought any music in several years and while I love the convenience of audio files, I don't know how likely it is that I'll find rare/reissued/out of print material converted to MP3. Help a luddite out and fill in the poll, and feel free to comment!

Because for some reason LJ won't let me tack this after the poll:

I ask because I've not bought any music in several years and while I love the convenience of audio files, I don't know how likely it is that I'll find rare/reissued/out of print material converted to MP3. Besides, are the advantages of not having more discs cluttering up shelf space worth the loss of cover art/liner notes/the like?

Understand: I will not vote Republican for love or money.

But: It frustrates me that of the Democratic contenders, one seems willing to pander to the religious right and the other seems squeamish about gay people (hat tips [livejournal.com profile] free_of_whip and [livejournal.com profile] ellid).

Indeed, one of my running complaints about the Democratic party at the national level is that they seem unwilling to play to their base, so confident of having the votes of women and racial/sexual minorities ('cos where else can they go?) that they ignore them to chase the conservative religious, who are NEVER going to vote for them because they already control the social agenda of the GOP.

Of course I've not been paying attention as well as I might during this campaign season so I will cynically check and double check the stories above to see how much water they hold. But still, it's discouraging.

Full disclosure: I didn't vote in the primaries today. I'm not registered with either party and in this state you have to be one or the other to vote in the presidential primaries.
