there is something special about the excitement you get when trying to unwrap a newly bought album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe, but for me its the music that plays from the original, there is something very special about that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the music would be the same as you would get on mp3, though the quality would probably be a bit better. when it comes to electronic music i usually prefer to hear it on cd. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, never. i only own a handful of genuine cds, the rest i burn to cd-r. i don't think the artists deserve my hard earned cash which i could spend on other luxuries instead, like women and cocaine. |

you are forgetting black market babies. |

|
|
Yes , i buy the really good shit. Buying music has become more of a collecting thing nowdays. Last purchase was Silverbullit - Arklight |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes i do |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if i can find it in the shops, or straight from artist/record label. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, I buy it if I like it, and it is commonly available and not at some crazy import-price which doesn't get justified by the distance the thing has travelled... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also, I've recently been able to pick up on the flaws of mp3s, which annoys me, and thus, I have few mp3s... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i mostly download and burn it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i would if i leved on europe. but sometimes o do order them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i try to buy as much as possible. i download a lot too, but i have never bought so many records as i did in the last year, partly thanx to p2p networks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
p2p now is like the new litmus test for good music for me, very rarely will i actually put burned mp3's on a cdr and be happy with the result - unless i buy them from bleep - which brings us to the next question - where do pay mp3 sites fit in to this discussion? |
||||||||

oF cOuRsE i Do |

Depends, really. I just "inherited" about 4 gigs of music from a friend at uni with a ridiculous amount of bandwidth, mostly at quite high quality. If i bought all of the stuff i've heard and liked on mp3 i wouldn't have any money for anything else. The ones i buy are mainly albums i've heard a few tracks from and really liked. It does make me feel a bit guilty, especially if the artists are struggling to make themselves heard. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when i can, usually. i.e. when it's findable (not out-of-print or hard to find as fuck) and when i have money. though not always; anyway i won't feel guilty about downloading an album if i've already bought 3 or 4 by the same artist. when the price is over €20, and from a big record company, i wait until it drops - €21 or €22 CDs can sometimes be found some months (or weeks if lucky) later at €8.99 for a limited time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont feel guilty for not buying an artists release, because if i like it that much, i will remember it and buy it at a later date - examply restproof clockwork by plaid - i have a cdr with downloaded mp3's and i absolutely love that album but i have yet to see it at a good price, such as under 20 usd. therefore i wait, i will definetly buy it as soon as i am able though + i will see them live whenever i can + i also own the original edition of most of their other stuff - so the guilt thing never comes into play with me since i know i will get around to it sooner or later, and if i dont then shame on me. |
||||||||

If I download a release from an artist I don't know about and end up liking it, then I will probably not buy it. I will however buy any other releases that artist might have in their catalogue. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i also inherited about 20 gigs of music. i wouldn't be able to buy all these albums even if i lived to be 41. i feel somehow cheapened though. i wish i had never received them. then again, so much good music :) ahh..i don't know. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
managed to listen to it all? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think i've listened to each song at least once. A lot of the stuff i don't even touch, like the 2 gig of psy trance. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes I do, and I prefer to buy it straight from the artist/label itself |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
100% download kthx. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sometimes i buy classical cds. most of the time i get it on >192k mp3s |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i even buy the artists i dont really like, just respect...even if i know that im gonna listen to them once a year its just a good deed |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you can afford that luxury then yes, its simple economics, but some people, like me, have to be careful what they buy and when - if i spend more than i made im dead. regardless of respect to an artist which is itself not respect to the artist but the record company. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
CDs and Records sound better than crappy MP3's so yes if i like an album and want to hear it better, I’ll go buy the authentic thing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, p.s. rephlex needs a bit more cd artwork quit being cheap |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

I usually download for preview purposes, if at all. If something is released on a formal hard copy, then I'll probably buy it. I can never feel like I'm truly a fan or have given an artist my due unless I lay down the cash for a real recording of it. I rarely download anyway because of all these RIAA busts recently. Makes me paranoid. Prolly for the best though, makes me think harder about what I listen to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You don't download because of the RIAA? Download things! if you want it support it, if not don't. Unless you are sharing lot's of things you're untouchable. Don't be scared of the RIAA! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good thoughts, EXCEPT the riaa part, if you get busted you KNOW we here would help you out, pay for your fees and such i just listen to music at the record store, wher ethey let you open the cd, order them, or at the book store wheer they have this little thinkgy that has like a bazillion artists, and ususally 30-45 second clips off the first 5 songs im scared of JivverDicker's eyes... |

I haven't bought a CD in over 6 years. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I haven't bought a bogala in over 666 years, period |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I tend to agree with you about the RIAA, I wouldn't be scared at all except that I'm still living on campus and there were several busts last year. I'd just hate to think I was downloading a solitary mp3 and I get caught when it's not representative of my habits. But no, Jivver.. I rarely share anything, and when I do the files are very sporadic and usually crappy quality. ps. thanks recycle, good to know you guys have my back :) |

I purchase pirated copies of music i love very seldom. At this moment, the number of CDs I bought equals 5. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah. I ALWAYS download music first, but if it's special enough to really win my heart (The Free Design- Kites are fun, for one), I'll try to track it down. But only out of a sense of duty and honor, I probably won't ever actually physically touch the disc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i used to buy a lot of music, but then i moved out and now i have to buy food. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
When I have money, that isn´t equipment spending money, I buy what I´ve downloaded and liked. Process: Download; { if "don´t like" then "don´t buy" if "like" then "go buy"; } |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when I have enough money to do so |
