Downloading your music vs buying your music

bluesfool · 05-13-2012, 12:10 AM

The majority of cds I've been searching for are out of print-and if I do find them on the secondary market they're so overpriced and not worth it. I'm amazed how much material is out of print and the record comanies aren't re-suppling them. It's like the record companies are encouraging the purchases of mp3 albums. Record stores are becomming the thing of the past as technology advances and moving towards an all degital era-whatever if we like it or not. I hate to admit it, but mp3 albums have become easier and more convient to find than searching for the out of print cd. However, everything isn't avaliable in mp3 and/or cd format. As long as cds are still being manufactured I'll be purchasing them. I hope the record companies replace the cds as they become out of print.

The wife bought some crappy rap (what rap isn't) on Itunes, I spit my coffee all over when I saw the bill for .99 cents.

Sounds like you're very open-minded.

I can't see why people can't do both downloading and purchasing of records?

Howard the Duck · 08-24-2012, 05:59 AM
