re: Just scooped the hateful eight at public library and I was happy as hell

A few years prior, I learned that the overall system has/had a ton of music CDs, and I spent some time filling up an 80 gig iPod with free music (albums I wanted). I surfed through their selection, order a bunch, and would check out the maximum each day. Go home and load the ipod, return the CDs, and check out the next however many. The local librarian would laugh at me with this, but also she figured out my tastes and would let me know whenever they ordered new CDs.

They make it easy. Every month, they update their new arrivals list online, broken up into Blurays, CDs, etc. Sift through it, place your holds, wait for the emails to come. I love that shite. You can even make requests when they don't have an item. It's a nice perk from my property taxes.

BTW, I haven't used it for a while, but there is/was a service called Freegal, which last I checked, gave you 10 free MP3 downloads a week. The Sony library was part of it, and I got several full Candyrat albums off it. (Candyrat publishes contemporary solo guitarists. Great stuff.)
