Don't Mangpong and Boomerang chain of stores carry original CD's?

You can buy online too mate.

B2S sells them for sure, also at Paragon there is a pretty big shop that sells them 6th floor if I remember correctly.

Pantip use to have a nice store. There is at least one, if not more, in MBK. Originals.

Imported CD's carry a high rate of import duty so if ordering mail order expect to pay well over the value!!

Buy online from Amazon in whatever country and have someone hand-carry.

While waiting... err... improvise.

People still pay for music ?

Sometimes.

Call me old-fashioned (you would soon scrap that idea if we ever met) but I still like to have an original CD.

Not the same as vinyl, don't put me in that category, but I just like to have those worth it.

Give me .mp3 any day, this old cat can't tell the difference any more!

[craigt3365]

If you have a good stereo, you can easily tell the difference between an MP3 and a CD. Especially if the MP3 is below 320kbps. I have some CD rips that are 192kbps or lower and they sound pretty bad on my Hi Fi. But find on the iPod.

MP3 - I don't think so!

This not so old cat CAN tell the difference !

Thanks for all the tips people!

Not all mp3's are created equal of course. The LAME VBR variety, if you so desire via settings, can be virtually indistinguishable on almost any home stereo vs a CD by even the most hardcore audiophiles. In other words, if you have a lot of music, it is almost essential to store in the mp3 format, with NO drawbacks. You can read about this stuff for days, these guys are true freaks http://lame.sourceforge.net/index.php

Shops, department stores have authentic CDs. There used to be CD Tower but I don't know where it is now.

[orientalist]

Tower Records and then CD Warehouse used to be the place to go. Now it's basically the same selection at branches of Mang Pong in every department store.
