Re: Records, CDs, or MP3s?
I tend to buy on CD and convert to Mp3 - which I discovered recently is technically illegal (but that legislation is currently being updated).
I never really owned any records, but my father has Machine Head and Stormbringer by Deep Purple and Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd on vinyl, they had nice warm sounds. I think Metal itself is not any better or worse on any format I've heard, really. I'd say live is better, but obviously you can't have Lacuina Copil in your living room
I am so used to Mp3's now I'd stick to them.
