Hello Alan Ianson!

I never had to buy extra copies of the same album. On the rare  
occassion, I *would* encounter a seemingly defective LP, but I  
simply returned it to exchange for another one.

I too.. would create a "master" copy on cassette tape and play  
that most of the time.  That also gave me the chance to avoid a  
track that I didn't care for.

And.. it can be more fun to search for a tune or artist and cue  
up everything related.

Since Spotify allows downloads, and since I don't have  
unlimited high-speed internet at home, the goal is relegate an  
old Thinkpad T40p laptop to act as my music server connected to  
my hifi. When I need to build my collection, I simply take the  
laptop where I have access to DSL, download the tunes I want,  
and then just take the machine home.
