He doesn't like ipods becuase he likes to buy CD's and hear the whole album and support the artist rather than just hear a sound bite.

I prefer entire albums also....has to do with growing up during the time of AOR. Album Oriented Rock, and Elton was the master in the 70s.

Well he has a point... so many people just download the songs they hear on the radio and don't hear the other good songs that aren't released as singles.

thanks for the update
True dat. SOme of those albums in those years were KILLER...Floyd being the master....
Hell, even recently, bands like Radiohead, RATM, cafe tacuba, coldplay....have had great albums period.
The point is, nowadays everything is backwards. You have to go out of your way to buy the cds only at concerts so they'll get a good cut of the $$$

pretty much, he's ecentric to begin with.
he's full of it anyways, recent study showed most ipod owners still buy cds. people prefer physical medium, a master copy with full quality and no drm that they can recompress as they like.

iPod Users Buy CDs, Shun iTunes
course artists like him prefer cds for another reason, they get a cut on every track on a cd, even the total sh*t filler ones people wouldn't buy on itunes. all about the $$$ and i've heard that arguement that artists want you to listen to the full album in order because its some kind of artistic package. bullocks, thats pretty arrogant to believe its all worth listening to. like most artistic attempts, much of music even from great artists is garbage or atleast mediocre and unexceptional.

If all artists intended for us to listen to album straight through, then they would put all the songs on one track.
Fair enough, but the artist still gets more from those ticket sales (even after TB's cut) than they receive when you walk in and buy a $15 CD.
while i don't like the itunes DRM, the itunes AAC encoding is atleast better then most WMA places.
AAC = Mpeg-4 Audio
he has a point, but it has nothing to do with the ipod itself, since you can buy an album, put it on your ipod, and listen to it fully from start to finish. that said, i enjoyed the interview.
