Should I Buy a Tape Adapter?
Hi, basically I'm a big believer in the CD experience, aka I like buying physical CDs, and not buying music over the Internet. If I pirate something (I pirate a lottt) I'll often times burn an album to a blank CD to play in my car, and that's where my issue is. I have probably 20 CDs floating around in my car now, and it's getting to be a drag finding them when I want them. I'm starting to consider getting a tape adapter to put in my car so I can just play the music off of my Zune, but I feel like I'll be bailing on the CD experience. I know if I buy one I'll just be buying CDs for the rip to my computer then basically discarding them as far as actually using them, and I feel sort of bad about that. Should I just buckle down and buy a tape adapter, or should I be the pure music lover that still believes in playing the physical CD?

Maybe give some free advice about: Music?
Well, I use the iPod dock in my dad's car, whenever driving. However, I still prefer CDs over iTunes buying, so in my room, I still have an amazing stereo, and I appreciate the CDs there.
It's easier to keep them in one place, but I rarely use my laptop to listen to music...only for a few songs that I love, but don't have on CD.
If you have a CD player in your house, keep listening to your CDs there, but in your car, go ahead and get the adapter.

I don't have a CD player in my car so i've no choice but to use an adapter for my iPod in my car. Even then, most of the music listening I do is on my computer. So, i'll buy CDs, rip 'em and put 'em away. I look at it like this, I bought the CD,I helped the artist, and I have it for my collection. On top of that, I don't have to worry about cracked cases or scratched CDs.
As a "pure music lover" would you really want to put your CDs through the wear and tear of being played in a car, potentially getting scratched, stolen, warped, etc? On the other hand, you already have a good amount of your collection on your Zune i'm sure. No need to fuss around with all those CDs plus the sound it still pretty great (depending on how HQ your rips are).
You'll be doing your CDs a favor by not lugging them around with you and/or leaving them in your car.
