godslabrat Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 "Digital download" is amusingly redundant. Last I checked, all reasonably-current formats are digital... CD, DVD, BRD, UHD. Analog media hasn't had serious traction since the Laserdisc and cassette tape died, and that was the *really* early 2000s. It's a pet peeve of mine. Sorry.

Bill Loguidice Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) I have to admit that at this stage in my life, I'm 100% onboard with digital only, although I do still like the occasional special edition packaging. I only really buy physical anymore when it's a special case or I'm wary of investing too heavily in digital that's not truly portable (a la Nintendo). EDIT: Side note. I decided to torture myself by buying the Fast and the Furious 1 - 7 box set, since I never watched it before. It was actually cheaper for me to buy the Blu-ray set with digital codes than going direct to digital. I put in the codes for the VUDU and iTunes versions, and have been watching it on VUDU. The Blu-ray discs are thankfully in a compact case. Edited May 3, 2017 by Bill Loguidice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzip Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 If there's more subgenres than bands, then someone's making shit up somewhere. But I wouldn't disagree, as a metal fan, that there's probably a subgenre for every band - since every band will invent a word to describe their own version of metal. lol I know, I joke. But I when I read through the massive list of subgenres of metal and electronic music, I can't help but wonder how many bands/artists there really are in some of the more obscure ones. I'm not sure if it should count as a genre if only one band is playing it, since the purpose of defining genres is to group similar things together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godslabrat Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 He did add the word "download." As opposed to... analog downloads? Why not just say "download"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 As opposed to... analog downloads? Why not just say "download"? I said that it was amusingly redundant. Like the department of redundancy department. Do try and keep up, godslabrat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
