I refused to download music, when you download a song it’s like saying to an artist you aren’t worth the effort or cost of a cd. Any I only listen to music that is worth the effort and cost of buying a cd.

I like to buy CDs because I like to own something physical.

Not having the money is pretty much the lamest excise ever….if you don’t have the money you save up till you get the money it will make the cd even more ‘special’. Sometimes I eat nothing but rice and salsa for a week to save up so I can the cd I want.

I prefer having the cds for car rides and using them on a cd player... much easier to rewind to try to pick out notes when playing guitar :P

well thats great for you, but if i only want one song from an album, i'll download it, not go out and waste my money on the album, for i like a wide variety of music. if its a band i really like, then yeah i will buy the album, i actually just bought the arctic monkyes album this morning.

yeah, it is, but when you have as bad as a car cd player as i do, its not much fun

TheCaster · 01-13-2008, 08:39 PM

I do download a few songs every now and then... but some people i respect too damn much... like i wouldnt want to steal from hendrix or slash... so ill usually only download if someone suggests a band to me and i wanna hear the stuff without spending all my monies

oh.. ill also steal if the whole cd sucks except one song.....
