Re: [LM_NET] Circulating CDs vs. MP3

[Karen Shull <karenshull@YAHOO.COM>]

CD's are very useful to anyone with an MP3 player.  Software is readily and freely 
available to move the music from the CD to an MP3 format, and 90% of the kids are 
aware of how to do this. Keep buying the CD's!

Subject: Circulating CDs vs. MP3

Students in my selection class are having a very spirited discussion  
about whether the LMC collection should include music CDs or not.

I am very firmly of the opinion that the media center educates in broad  
strokes by having a variety of materials available, but one aspect of  
this I hadn't thought about was the fact that having CDs available  
might not be a format that iPod students could even use any longer.

So, how are LMCs "checking out" music on an MP3 format these days?

I reject the argument that we don't need to have music available  
because student can download it directly. Most students would not  
download Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" for example, but a student might  
check it out if they ran across it in the media center.

How does one keep this selection area current today?
