no, not yet. listening to the other stuff i didn't like burned me out for a bit. i guess i'm just too fussy. i don't like alot of things most people do in music and love alot of things everyone else seems to hate like instrumentals.i imagine that b. ferry's solo work is similar to his roxy music stuff. in fact, he was credited on the cover of my "street life" CD. i need to get into an adventerous mood again to try new tunes out. more often than not, my response to other's suggestions is "how could anyone like this?" LOL i'm sure those people would feel the same way about my favorites too.

The heart likes what the heart likes.Don't fret it.
Have to stress, that online(reduced data)samples are a mere shadow of their respective counterparts.
I sample via walkman w/decent head-phones at local used music outlets.Good way to hear truer examples,if able to to so.
oh, don't get me started on MP3. LOLit's a total step in the wrong direction. 16/44 digital is the MINIMUM that i'll listen to. after 20 years of mediocre CD resolution, 1/192 SACD and 24/96 DVD-A come along and what does everyone do? they embrace COMPRESSED lower resolution MP3. arrrrrrrgh!
i want MP3 to die. 16/44 wavs is as close to it as i'll ever get. i want to encode my vinyl to 24/96 DVDs, but i don't have the hardware to at the moment.
i bought pretty much everything in my collection except some old radio shows and a few taped albums. now that i've FINALLY accepted digital (took 10 years +) i won't settle for anything less than a CD or mint vinyl.
the ONLY songs i download are the samples i check out at record stores for something new to me.
As a confirmed vinylist, I always disliked the crude sound of first-generation CDs and I collected vinyl throughout the 80s and 90s.
Recently, I have converted many of my vinyl LPs to the 24/96 HR format.
The .wav files can be played directly via computer to hi-fi link, or used to produce DVD-Audio discs at various quality levels, or even down-sampled to produce great sounding CD/Rs.
Many vinylists should be able to listen to them without experiencing too many withdrawal symptoms.
The resulting files are a little harder and more "in-your-face" than vinyl, but they "grow" on you, becoming quite addictive after a while.
The captured information levels can be awesome, providing you use high quality vinyl, software and hardware.
I understand that you must retain ALL your viyl originals, have only one digital copy at any one time and never sell or give away any digital copies.
I could go on for a long time about compressed files, DAB radio and such, but I have resisted the urge.
