Record store day seems to be an opportunity for record store owners and music labels to try and convince people (unsuccessfully in most cases) that buying physical music from bricks and mortar stores is better than buying music digitally. It's a last-chance effort to try and claw back some of the sensibilities and sentiments of an era that has all-but passed. Physical music still has one advantage over digital: quality. Apart from that, digital wins in every other way, and let's face it even when you're buying physical music shopping online wins hands down to going to the store.
To celebrate Record store day I'm buying some DRM-free music online.
I have to restart those two maybe twice a year, or when I'm changing settings or upgrading the firmware. They seem to play nice together. For the record, it's the AirPort that seems to need the restart on those odd occasions, but I do them both just to make sure.
