A bigger question.

How do you all GIFT music these days?

My brother recently sent me a new album for my birthday. Very kind. But, it's on vinyl. And I don't have a player.

But it just reinforces thoughts I had before. I had wanted to gift him some music too, but, how? He has a phone. He has a computer. He's not particularly tech savvy. I know I can't ship him a CD, he has nothing that can rip it.

I know you buy an album on Amazon, they let you download the MP3s right away. But, how do I even gift that? Can you even download MP3 to an iPhone? From someplace not Apple? I honestly have no idea.

And it just highlights, to me, the entire (seemingly) difficulty of gifting music today.

Me, I still buy CDs and rip them.
