MikeChipshop Member Posted January 20, 2015 Member Share Posted January 20, 2015 Ignoring the typo fueled subject line... Yes, but only if it's an album or single that i value as a classic or a potential collectors item. Otherwise, no, i prefer all digital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knife Party Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 pretty much 95% of the time I'll buy music off Soundcloud for like $2-10 per album/s for artists that are really good that few people know of. Itunes is a no go for me and streaming via spotify doesn't yet in my country. So yeh// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rohdekill Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Why buy a CD or album anymore? There's maybe 1-2 good songs on a most records. That's a lot to spend when I can get the same for $.99 each, if not for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vcfan Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I purchase CD and rip it myself. I only use xbox music to sample tracks before I purchase the discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anibal P Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Only specific bands I know don't do a single and 10 filler songs, AND the preorders have to be good, so maybe 3-4 a year, the rest is streamed via Google Play Music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph3100 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 If I buy any physical media, it is vinyl. vcfan, User6060 and Jub 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jub Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Yes. I don't buy many CD's in recent years, but only to support friends and associates. I do, however, buy lots of vinyls. In part to support the bands, in part to support the medium, and in part for piece of art that they are. I don't get vinyls so much for the audio benefit anymore, as digital is getting better and better, but I still prefer analog recordings pressed on vinyl sound-wise.

Dick Montage Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 As a music consumer: Generally no. I am not adverse to purchasing physical media if there is a specific reason, such as extras or as a gift As a DJ: Yes, there are a number of things I still buy physically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim K Global Moderator Posted January 20, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted January 20, 2015 I bought my first CD in years the other night when a small, but excellent band (Adam Ezra Group) came through and played in Montgomery. I ripped it into iTunes and the CD has been stored probably never to see a laser again. Today I bought one of their other albums on iTunes. So, normally digital but on the occasion I will buy a CD. I have been considering getting back into vinyls ... but haven't yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Fahim S. MVC Posted January 20, 2015 MVC Share Posted January 20, 2015 Why buy a CD or album anymore? There's maybe 1-2 good songs on a most records. That's a lot to spend when I can get the same for $.99 each, if not for free. You can get CDs pretty cheap these days. The main reason for choosing CD? Quality. You can't tell with an iPod but you can with some decent HiFi equipment. Streaming services have come leaps and bounds but until I can get a very high bit-rate or completely lossless via digital download at a reasonable price, I am buying CDs and ripping them myself.

LaP Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Yes but only when the CD is extraordinary. If not i'm buying the 2-3 songs i like online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenwizard88 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I only buy physical media. If I'm going to own something, it's going to be something you can pry from my cold, dead, hands. Otherwise I just use Spotify or Pandora. There's nothing physical, but I don't pay either. I'm okay with that arrangement, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DConnell Member Posted January 20, 2015 Member Share Posted January 20, 2015 If there's exclusive content on the CD version, I'll pick that up. Otherwise its XBOX Music or Amazon digital for me. chrisj1968 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Norris Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Haven't bought a CD since the last century, haven't bought a DVD in quite a number of years either. I've got nothing against it, hell I got a stack of vinyl and 8 tracks in storage still, just haven't had a need/desire anymore. Don't even use CD's in my truck anymore, I just plug my phone in. Less physical space, more convenience for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skiver Veteran Posted January 20, 2015 Veteran Share Posted January 20, 2015 I haven't bought a CD in a while, I wouldn't be apposed to it if I wanted something and it worked out cheaper that way but I tend to buy most of my music from the google play store.
