This Ain't an MP3, Paaale

So I need to pose a small question to the music listening members of society, does anyone have albums they enjoy too much to convert to mp3s? As in, if they're transformed into digital versions of themselves, they'll somehow be compromised in some way. I've found that's the case with a good amount of my favorite albums. I'm no Luddite (or a Heenan), but for some reason, I don't always enjoy the ability to listen to the greatest of the great songs at any time of day. Like a fine wine(?), I take a small degree of comfort that they're sitting on my shelf waiting for me at home and not hiding in a strange corner of my ipod.

I remember reading an interview with Michael Ian Black a few years ago in which he mentioned that he didn't want to listen to the song "Buckets of Rain" from "Blood on the Tracks" too many times because he might get tired of it. That's the exact same way I feel about dj Shadow's "Endtroducing" among many others. They'll always be mp3-free for me, pal.
