crimsonhead Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I only buy a cd if i REALLY like the band. Otherwise I grab my parrot and I'm off! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scizzot Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 99% of the time I buy the physical copy. I dont know why but I love the packaging that comes with the albums. Mabye its just me. That other 1% though is pirated music. Usually just bands I have heard about and want to find out more about them, if I like them I'll buy the physical album if not it gets deleted.

JiveMasterT Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 $30 a semester from ruckus music service through my school... it is extremely fast since they have servers on my campus and my campus is not far from my house so I get songs at about 2mb a second.... then to put them on my mp3 player i just use tunebite.

Chris Allen Veteran Posted February 17, 2006 Veteran Share Posted February 17, 2006 I have the majority of my music sent to me. Second in line would be online legal download from either BeatPort or AudioJelly. Third would be the purchase of vinyl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narlzac85 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Arrr, makes me sad, but someday I do plan to by most of the music I downloaded, just bacause I want to own the CD's...need a job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Battery Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Online stores have poor quality music compared to Cd, we all know that. I am finding myself not buying CD's much anymore though because of the stupid copy protection stuff they have on them. I went to buy two albums 2 weeks ago and both had labels on them saying it may not be possible to rip them to a pc, I didnt bother buying them as I mostly listen to music on my pc and ipod. There isn't really that much good stuff out in the UK anymore unless you count guys rapping about how much money they have got and how many people they have killed, all totally untrue but some people seem to like it, oh we also have 90% manufactured bands too.

Matt T Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 To be honest, I pirate most of my music, but when I do buy music I purchase it from iTunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 No it isn't...you are allowed to "download" music but uploading is illegal... Now you can't download without uploading a single KB now can you? :rolleyes: and just for the record...I buy my music off iTune Lime wire has options to turn off sharing. I download, but don't upload. BUT the Supreme Court of Canada said that downloading musing, using Napster etc, was the same was walking into a library, grabbing a book, and photocopying a page or three. WHICH IS FULLY LEGAL AND AUTHORIZED in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanManIt Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I buy Cd's. I don't like downloading music, because since I'm paying for it I may as well go out and pay an extra dollar or 2 to get it in all of its glory. I never really understood why anybody would download music, theres just too many problems and complications. Like you can only burn it to so many cd's or only have it on 3 pcs or whatever. I paid for it and I want to be able to use it how I want with no bull**** attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmatik Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Local webshops (FriscoStreetShow.com, RapBay.com) Amazon.com and iTunes. I mostly use iTunes to sample music and then I find other places to buy the CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReAnimation Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I normally buy music on CD. I always check to see if the CD is copy protected though, if it is it gets left on the shelf. I've been caught out before buying copy protected discs, in the end I did get the record company to replace them with 'Proper' audio CD's though.

planetik Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Well, downloading music in Canada is still legal, and I DO purchase the album (physical) if I like some of the songs. I chose the third option... Arrrr.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
