Sam Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I'd say I get most of it from the internet through free downloads these days. Which makes me feel bad. It is mainly because I have an income of about $15AU/week which is barely anything. So actually buying a CD is a treat for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lore Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 CD's are a bit expensive here and i don't have tons of money to buy cd's but I love to buy cd's and I buy some everytime I can... I don't want to download music from internet but it's the only way to listen good music because the radio here sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compguy347 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I use URGE to get all my music. Then if I really like the artist/album, I'll purchase it. Pretty good little system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anniep_93 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I use Limewire mainly and I also buy cds sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondes Martenot Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 i buy CDs 2-3 times a month. mostly, i buy some "classics" that i want to get to complete my collection, i rarely buy new stuff...first i give a listen of course and only after buy never purchase from iTunes or similar online stores. waste of money and kilobits per second.......................... EDIT: i have 55 gb of music on my pc, 45 gb of it are live bootlegs. it means: i have 10 gb of illegal music. 5 gb of that music i own on purchased CDs, the rest 5 gb i'll have to get later on...though, i'm slowly starting to delete those files that i own on CDs, because of lack of free space :dozey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Mainly from cds or from iTunes. I'm trying to replace all my illegal downloaded tracks with cds if I like that album enough to purchase the cd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningmonk Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 If I'm interested in something but not sure I'll like it or not, I'll download it. If there's an artist that I'm a fan of, then I'll buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__therese Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I download most of it but if it's something I actually love I buy it.. So I buy like 3-5 CD's a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Mostly I buy CDs, sometimes I use iTunes. I never download for free though, and know one should. If you respect the artist you should at least pay something or else theyll end up having to leave thier record label (Radiohead, maybe Coldplay soon too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gloaming09 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 i definetly prefer cds... the whole process of buying cd's, opening them and looking at the booklet is for me an important part to it. the rest of my music comes from itunes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miss capa Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I buy music off the internet, Itunes and I buy CDS. I basically do everything except download free music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I do some downloading, but the majority of music I listen to is cds I actually own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Jeanfr. Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 To be heartfelt with you, 99.5% of my music is from free downloads:laugh3:. It's because in my country is a little expensive to buy a CD. The last one i ever bought was Snow Patrol-Eyes Open last year!, i also own: (that i bought) coldplay: parachutes,AROBTTH,x&y and the 2003 dvd. blink 182: blink 182 (self-titled album) (won them/got them by a gift) gorillaz: gorillaz (debut album) TK:tentando imaginarios :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombadil Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I also get 99% of my music from free downloading. There is no way I would ever go out and start buying cd's when there is so much bad music out there. Gambling the amount of money a cd costs here in Norway is way too risky. But I must admit that I have started expanding my cd collection with records that I really feel deserve my money, but that is a very few number of records. Though if it hadn't been for downloading, I probably wouldn't have bought those either, so thank you for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 More and more of my music is coming from CDs, although there is some music I still download illegally, although that's dropped to 5% or so, and a good 2% of that music I buy when it's available.

Ms Magpie Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I download it from rapidshare and such sites, I decided not to use eMule or Limewire ever again. Just uTorrent. Yeah. But I do buy CDs from time to time. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan8 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 When I think it's really good, I'll buy the cd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeoir Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Well, i don't have nearly enough money to even think of buying a cd/month or even more so yeah i download music for free but i also buy the most important good albums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 mostly CDs (whether they're ones i've bought myself or borrowed from friends), then itunes. free downloading just makes me feel bad and guilty, so i never do it unless it's something i couldn't get officially anyway, like live bootlegs or unreleased tracks. i also have a couple albums that my friends have sent to me online because they really think i should listen to it. i know this is just the same as illegal downloading, but 1) i only have max 6 albums downloaded this way, and 2) somehow it feels slightly different when i get it from a friend rather than an impersonal P2P site. that's complete rubbish, but i don't feel as bad about it. i'm very much for legal means of getting music. i've never touched limewire or the like in my life, and only sendspace/rapidshare/etc when its something i can't physically get anywhere else.

.Jeanfr. Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 ^(Please tell me if i am wrong) You can go to jail in the US if you download music illegally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I don't think anybody has been sent to jail, just fined at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpw48 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 But technically they could send you to jail if you had enough of the content. But then they'd send half the country away, cos everyone sadly does it. I think I own 5 albums off the internet, every other song on my Zune I have in CD form. I plan to buy the missing five next time I'm in town ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Rose Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 do people in england not get fined for downloading? Only when you get caught. Currently they are after the mass uploaders who share thousands of tracks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
