Your new CDs/downloads in 2014

What are your new CDs or what have you downloaded?

I pre-ordered 2 Barren Cross cds that won't be in til Feb 2014
Rock For The King (Remaster)
Birth Pangs

Also got the mp3 albums for both of those

I have pre-ordered the cd of Liberty n Justice 4-All 2: The Best of Liberty n Justice

I just bought the mp3 album of Andy J Fredes "Battle Anthems"

Ordered the following from Nightmare Records:

Signum Regis - Exodus
Grand Lux - Carved in Stone
Scarlet Rayne - Theater Humanitarian

I ordered from Ulterium Records:

Incrave - The Escape
Incrave - Dead End

I've been in the mood for some melodic metal and their song off that Ulterium sample hit the spot!  I may have to get that Sinbreed album soon because I really dig their sound as well.

David Benson - Evil Killer

Larry Howards Cornerstone Blues Jam
Kerry Livgren- Prime Mover

GHF- Volume 1

Scott Stapp ~ Proof of Life

Amazon Gift card for Christmas.

Nice!

Finally got the gate-fold bright green colored vinyl of Victor Griffin's In-Graved - LOVE IT !

Desyre -Glamtron
(and I bought a CD version of) GX Project -Bite Stick (even though I bought the mp3s from iTunes when it 1st came out... so I supported the band twice - and in my opinion, it's SUCH a great album, it was worth every penny !)

For Christmas, The Dr I work for bought me the Boxed Set for Van Halen. The DLR years. 6 studio albums. Pretty cool. Was very nice of her.

I have done that too many times too... I keep trying to go all digital but I get sucked back in and wind up getting the cd later

It's kind of a financial bummer for me, cuz I bought digital albums from iTunes of about 6 albums about 2 months before I decided to go back to a physical collection. I sure wish I could get my money back and get the CDs... but alas, it was my decision to buy digital albums like Sacred Warrior's latest, both Bone Prophet albums, Saint's newest album and a few others... such a bummer. I plan to slowly over time, get Those albums on CD... perhaps I'll be able to get used copies of them off Amazon eventually.
ah well....

I've always been a physical format fan. I don't consider it worth the trouble to figure out how to play downloads in a car, which is where I listen to most of my music. Plus, when you get to a good stereo system, the CDs will probably be better than the downloads (unless you're Ahlitah ).

I don't have any problem listening to downloads in my car.  It has a USB port, I just plug my USB full of music into the port and select media on my radio.
I know some people complain about the compressed sound of mp3 files but I have never been able to hear the difference between a 256kbps MP3 file and the actual CD.

Having said all that I still buy CDs on occasion.

I prefer to buy CDs, rip them to my computer, put songs on my zip drive and plug it into my music system in the car.  And then I'll switch over to a CD sometime after that

Sanctifica - Negative B

My trouble is that none of our cars has a USB port. Two of them have a tape deck, all of them have a CD player (except the one that's broken [and has a Rush CD stuck in it ]), and all of them have a radio, but no USB port. They're just too old.

I used to use a radio dock, but the sound is pretty bad with those.
