drawbacks to the mp3 culture is that it has destroyed the art of the lp album. it can be hard to find people who pay attention to the flow from song 1 to song 15. now if you listen to an lp it usually sounds like random bits and pieces put together, searching for a hit. or even worse the same song 15 times.

not to mention the sound quality isn't the same at all. mp3 below 320 aren't very good. if you have decent headphones i can hear how bad it sounds, i don't know about anybody else though.
