If a special cd were to come out by your favorite group / person and had the choice to download the music or to buy the official copy, what would you do? |
||||||||
|
|

i remember when i got confield. i got a gift card for amazon.com and ordered confield from there, and i got it in the mail for free |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
download it, it's my criminaly negligent nature, i'd work on stopping- but it's helped me quit smoking |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but i'd still buy the cd if i were u, cos 4 some reason it feels more official and satisfying having the actual copy in your hot little hands :) |
||||||||
|

That's my exact feelings Pachi :) |

CD's are better sound quality too (uh.. that is, unless u download it in .wav format.. which i highly doubt) most mp3s are like 128kbs.. cds are noticably better sounding ....just another factor to consider.. also, some artists don't like mp3s... (ie: boards of canada)... so i'm planning on buying MHTRTC and Geogaddi as soon as i have some money they are good artists and they deserve the money... and they probably aren't filthy rich, so i feel i should pay them back for making such great music now, if they said they dont care about mp3s.. then that would be a different story |

Good point AMinal. Supporting groups like this is great. And you're not supporting them if you dl their music. I don't find it to be right at all...and I would rather purchase than dl. |

I always want the official copies, i have over 4 gigs of mp3s but i still want the official copies, unfortuanately i can't afford even a small amount of what i'd like to have, so i only buy a few cds and yes i'll buy Jean Michel Jarre's next album as soon as it comes out and Aphex Twin's too, i already bought Drukqs |

metallica on the other hand... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

idunno, if and when i have money again there are a lot of cds i'll buy, but not nearly as many as to cover up all the mp3's i've dled- a lot of them i wouldn't consider worth it |
||||||||
|
|

I'd buy it. I always believe in supporting your favorite artists. plus i like having the liner notes and stuff. I'll download mp3s of an artist i'd be ashamed to buy in a store, or to "preview" a release before i commit to it, if it's artist i'm not a huge fan of. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd buy it if it was a group i loved b/c i would want to support the band |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I always buy cds... I'm not a huge MP3 fan really... I just download specific songs I want, not usually albums... I like having the actual album... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if its by one ofmy FAVORITE artists i must buy, everything else. BURN BABY BURN i refuse to buy over-priced shit anymore |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd buy the cd! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if i was a metallica fan (which i'm not) i'd only download their tracks, just to piss them off! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Do you think it is a respect thing? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i find i use mp3's as a sampler - if i like the music then i have to get it on disk - cd's last for years but computers can fuck up and delete/lose data . nothing beats having a genuine cd in my opinion - cd-r 's a dont usually apeal to me unless i'm doing a compilation of b-sides or tracks you can't buy anymore (twoism 4 instance) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It'll(for me) take longer and cost more money to download a WHOLE CD, so i just wait for a sale, and buy it. *KABOOM* meow |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My favourite CDs aren't for sale anymore so I download them... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just download mp3's to sample artists I'm not familiar with and to get unreleased or rare songs. I love having the real CD in my collection. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I get mp3s of stuff to try out, or songs which I'm not prepared to buy a whole album for. I only buy cds now of my favourite artists. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think that's a different matter isn't it Laserbeak - I think its more of case of that the record companies would go bust if no one bought records....and then they would be in a situation where they cannot afford to do new stuff.....and ultimately we lose! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i only download hard to find/unreleased/out of print stuff. and sometimes i download one or two songs in order to check an album out. buying cd's also makes your collection look better ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I download MP3's as a sampler sometimes... although sometimes I just buy without ever hearing anything about the album... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
buy i don't trust downloaded versions. most of the time, they aren't even the real songs. just some bastardized version of the real album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I do that too... it feels so good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think when you know the artist really well...you're more inclined to buy cd without hearing it. Sometimes is the case, that they tend to be shitty and live up to your expectations....and other times they're great! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah it does man... I bought my first Aphex Twin album (The RDJ Album) kinda like that... I heard a few samples from the disc, but nothing else... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah with bands you know definately... Bands like Radiohead, U2, BoC, Autechre, Aphex Twin, etc, etc, I'll buy anything they release just because I think they're awesome... but, I have bought albums having never heard anything by the person or group before... sometimes it's a dissapointment, but when it's a great cd, it's awesome!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i got 4 pixies cd's that way by only having ever hearing monkey gone to heaven one time. but it paid out, big time. highly recommendable. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I bought 'Boards of Canada - Music has the Right to Children' because I liked the name and the cover was cool. I had never even heard of them before. wooohooo... talk about a pleasant surprise. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh, I bought the Led Zepplin boxed set (only the four disc one, not the whole recordings one) only having heard like three songs... but I love the boxed set... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, actually it was a Christmas gift from my bro, but still... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe, yeah there's nothing like slurging like that and finding an excellent album... I bought MHTRTC after only hearing a few samples... good stuff definately!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's splurging... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
