^I too have bought several albums after I heard songs from those albums as mp3s, but I'll admit it's quite a few years since that last happened. The main reason for that is I no longer use CDs, for anything. All mine are packed down into boxes and scattered, so there goes much of my collector's motivation.

i have bought all albums i have previously had for free, and any movie or tv show i enjoy i buy.

The world is changing, its time for the music industry to embrace the future. People will still buy music. Artist will still get paid from gigs, Its the middle men who get hurt. But they just exploit artist.

music is about love not money... (?)
