<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Umbra on CDs and MP3s]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by jschmit http://www.grist.org/article/music1/ Wed, 19 Jul 2006 23:21:32 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/music1/1 MP3 music doesn't necessarily = MP3 player

I don't disagree with the conclusion Umbra reaches in her response.  However, she assumes that downloading music will then require an MP3 player.  If you're downloading music, you're already at a computer.  Said computer will play back the music.  No short-lived portable MP3 player required.  Attach speakers to the computer and you have eliminated the need for your CD player.  OR select the songs you want to listen to and burn your own CDs to play in all your existing players.

What exactly do Apple and Dell do with the products that consumers send back to them?

Hi lionhead

Apple and Dell take computers back and recycle them -- not sure exactly how the process works, but it's better than consumers dumping their computer with all its toxins in the landfill!
