Do you buy digital music?

You prick! Just kidding.

I dunno, I don't know enough about digital downloads to hazard an opinion on the costs of storing/profitability of files with different bitrates. But someone on here might be able to shed light on it?

You can buy an external hard drive that stores 1TB for 50-60USD. I haven't done all the math but you can store a hell of a lot of free 320 kbps MP3s on one of those.

If you answer it the RIAA will come busting through your front door. You better not.

the only people that will answer the question are the ones with the right answer, or people lying about the right answer.

I've bought like five or six things digitally in the whole of my e-career. Mostly singles, never a full album project.

Digital downloads are a waste of money imo it's often cheaper to just buy the hard copy than to download.

I steal it then if I really like it I'll buy it on CD. Come at me.

You've obviously never bought CDs in Norway.

Tbh I just buy off Amazon usually but it seems they've increased the prices...

Anything over £5 for a CD is too much imo.

Dude. If you buy from Platekompaniet, the company that pretty much dominates music, movie and video game sale in Norway, it's totally normal to pay 169kr (16,5£) for a CD. Some are 99kr (9,5£), and then there's "nice price" ones, which tend to cost 59kr (5,5£). It's messed up.

lol, paying £16 for a CD, I've not done that since about 2002. My limit these days is probably £15 depending on what it is. I paid £10 for my copy of Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous, and would be willing to pay similar for other albums I love.

Thought of a good idea for a thread tbh.
