Hey y'allz, I'm quite curious:

 

When LP4 is finally released, will you be going for a solid CD or a digital release through iTunes or Amazon or the like?

 

I'm a bit torn myself. On the one hand, a CD is the classic manifestation, that can be used anywhere and comes with a cool case. However... digital releases, especially through iTunes, tend to come with bonus tracks. There's a slight chance that a CD would lack certain bonus tracks.

 

So, what do you think it'll be for you?

solid cd

I'm betting a fair few here will be getting both. ;)

 

I like to have the CD though. The inlay et al. Plus you'd be able to download the bonus tracks separately. :D

I'll go for the physical release.

And I like your avatar Hyperfried :cool:

physical release, but i'm going to download it first because that's the fastest way of getting it to me.

 

and ditto on the avatar. best. movie. EVER.

CD.

Compact Disc

And the poll? :thinking:

cd

Vinyl, please! :D

 

But I'll still want a cd- the most multi-useful thing. Good for the car, the stereo system (lossless, you know) and of course, ripping.

 

...Providing EMI have scrapped that horrid infuriating copy protection on their cds.

oh yes, my format of choice is vinyl! can't wait to have it on my record player!

Cd, but I will probably download the tracks beforehand...it's possible. I really really really really wish I had a record player, ours doesn't work.

CD AND Vinyl for me :D

Don't mean to give an explanation......lol but for some reason when I play a coldplay cd I can feel the emotion more than when I listen on my Ipod. call me crazy, but that's how I feel

^No you're right, somehow it feels more real that way. I get the same feeling. I think its partly because you're listening to it the way the band made it, the version that came straight from the studio. But maybe I'm speaking nonsense as well.

CD and if it's great Vinyl too. Fuck digital

CD is better but i probs get both. Do you think if you pre-order the album now itll come ON the day of release?

i'm going to try it out and see if it is worth my money...probably will end up buying a copy somewhere down the line.

CD... but CDs are still digital.

definitely CD

CD it is.

No, you're not. I get your point there. :) When I play the cd, I like to read or take a look at the cd's booklet / inlays (sorry if it's the wrong term for a some kind of little thin book inserted in the cd package :D). I always feel that the band design and create the inlays themselves along with the songs, it's a unity, so it feels more real for me. I don't get that feeling when I listen to digitals. Or maybe I'm just making another nonsense. :laugh3:

CD! :nice:

I'm definitely getting the CD, Coldplay's my favorite band and I always get the CD's of my fav artists. If the iTunes/digital version has a lot of bonus material, I might get that as well.
