If you want I can upload it for you in lossless FLAC and MP3 so you have a backup.

Is that the same as a CD? Confused To be honest here I haven't a clue what any of that even means.
I'm going to stick to my 90's tech thanks.

Enjoy the skip skip skips Smile FLAC is like a CD rip (as I understand it), MP3 is a compressed format. If you wanted to burn the FLAC files to a CD it would be like the original.

For example that V.I.M song is 45mb in FLAC, 15mb in MP3 (320kbps), you can tell the difference.

Nope. You've lost me. I'll just wait for the postman to bring my CD.

Or you could click a button and listen to it now Smile I found one of those weird shiny circle things the other day, my first thought was hmm what do I still have that can actually play CDs. I know the Xbox... it didn't recognise it Laughing, you have to go and download an app. It genuinely would have been quicker to download the album.

I got sick of indestructible CDs that die if they're ever put face down on something, so you put it face up and a speck of dust ruins it, or God forbid you touch it with your filthy greasy fingers then it really is fucked.

I bought the same CD three times, first one got nicked out of a car, second one got lost and the third is 12 years old and skips and I've been very careful with it. I only use digital media for everything these days.

4 alloys, with near new tread on the tyres, for the Nissan.

A bargain price of 60 quid.

I only wanted the tyres, so the alloys are a bonus.

And yes, the 'police effect' can be amusing Smile.

This is by a street light, but should give you an idea, especially with the shadows.

amazon dot from CEX £20 - wasn't really interested in Alexa, but post-Christmas had to set a few up for elderly friends and relatives, and quite like having radio stations with a voice command

lonsdale laceless trainers on sale in Sports Direct £25 will tide me over until I get proper cleated cycle shoes and pedals

Xbox game pass £1 offer on the last day

just ordered Virgin bundle, my dad will give me his £50 kickback, I get £50 off the first bill.

I have in the past had Virgin and BT internet connections at the same time, but this was long before 4G, so will probably cancel Plusnet.

Hand job off a Slovakian teenage mother of seven down the side of Cash Converters in Romford. Twenty five quid. Almost ruined by people trying to squeeze by and almost knocking the pushchair over.

I agree that CDs are rubbish.

I find the stylus slips straight off.
