im talking about music. do you buy the original releases of the mp3s you download? obviously im not talking about all of them, just the albums you really like and really listen to? im not trying to start a debate about the filesharing issue, just curious to see what effect it has on you members' buying habits. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and to answer my own question, yes i buy pretty much every album downloaded that i really like. |
||||||||
|

twoism, gantz graf, god loves ugly thats all i can think of right now |

no |

|
|
no not all...I really want to buy a lot of records but the my wallet is too thin. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes If I like it. I try not to download too much though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i think my question isnt good. try #2: what % of what you buy you bought because you downloaded it beforehand (meaning if it wasnt for filesharing, you wouldnt have bought it). ------------ 75% |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
depends on the availability of the release, how much money i've got, how good the cover is, if i already have other releases by the artist in question and how much the artist is well-known... i don't think i could afford buying every release i like! but i feel guilty when i don't have any records by an artist i really like. i think it's a bit less grievous to download an album when i already have some others by the same band. |

|
|
62.23% To be precise. |
||||||||
|

"how good the cover is" that statement sounds stupid, but it's very true. i wouldnt buy an album if there was no cover or artwork at all, just a clear package with a white cd... sad to say. |
||||||||
|

If it wasn't for downloading I wouldn't have the collection of legitimately bought CDs that I now have. That said, I do download a lot less than I used to because a) I don't really have the time given my 56k connection, b) I have trusted sources I use for new music recommendations and am confident I'll like most things I buy even if I haven't listened to them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i usually download one or two tracks to see if i like the album before buying it... not all the album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like CDs with '2 Remixes By AFX' style packaging as they appeal to my minimalist aesthetic tastes, but then again I *love* the packaging on Constellation CDs (Godspeed etc) and that fact it's all done by hand. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
CORTEX > i would still buy it if it was a blank or clear package - what i wouldn't buy is a cd in a package i find ugly... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If it's worth the money, then yes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont download anymore, but most of the stuff i downloaded in the past i bought later on |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I usually download before I buy because I like to being well informed and don't want to buy something I won't like, since my financial situation isn't exactly good right now... buy if I download something and I really like it, I feel obligated to buy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
depends on the artist and how good the album is if it is ok no i keep the downloaded copy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No I dont. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I ALWAYS download before I buy, and if the music is shitty then no I don't buy. But if the album is quality and reserves the 15 bucks then i'll be glad to help out the artist. ( and get a pretty booklet) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can't remember the last time i bought something without having already heard it before |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i'd go with that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have NEVERR d/L'd a full album and neverr plan to, i just cannot be arrsed |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if it's good i buy it (if i can), but the chances are the reason i've downloaded it in the first place is that it's not in the shops |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes I buy what I download. besides I have only downloaded 2 Gigbytes in my whole life. examples: everything by orbital i downloaded first and now I am buying everything on, ventolin... the same |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whether or not i use p2p i buy records depending on how much i like it if i can find it when i can afford it how big is the artist/label, smaller first etc |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of course ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am planning to buy autoditacker. all because i dl it. need the whole ting. hamsters |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Audiotacker is pretty nice ! Tamagotchi is a smasher.. try Ebay if you want to buy it. I got it there for 3$. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if I like it : 100% |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its also frequently impossible to buy what you download because of the availability of some music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i download rare and hard to get stuff and if i really need to have it on cd, i'll buy it. i'm addicted to cds, so i buy quite a lot |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont have the money to buy EVERYTHING i download, but i buy what i like the most and i plan to eventually own a lot of the music ive downloaded, i just need some time and money |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i also download so i can have a copy on cd then go out and buy the vinyl |
