>As with jazz, I got to “know the repertoire” and treasure certain music most dearly.  I don’t get it when young folks today brag that they’ve downloaded 1,000 selections and have access to them at any time. Can a person “sample” from a downloaded warehouse of thousands of pieces of music and have a deep experience of the music? I’m partially being judgmental and an old fogey here, but I don’t get it. 

A good point made there, Charles.  I don't think it is being an "old fogey", rather you/we have experienced the other way of having music in our home.  That beloved Santo Pecora album that I mentioned earlier, with its now worn & faded pink cover can't be experienced by the young "downloader".  However, Paul makes a good point that while the disadvantages of today's methods is clear to many of us, we should remember that it could and is very useful for others.  Looking at and listening to both sides of any argument, in music, politics, a marriage, life in general is always a good idea.
