Does anyone actually buy music anymore?

fada · April 2006

I will always buy music. I like going into shops and discovering good music. I do download songs off limewire but I don't download albums.

Foix-Alive · April 2006

I download some songs, and when I have money, I buy it!

I love the Original Albums... the cover-art is nice! and the CD desing!

I want buy Led Zeppelin IV this month! :P

I'm still buying records! (Every PJ record of course, for example)
One of the goals in my life is owning évery Neil Young record he has ever recorded... Right now I have only 14 records so that's still a long way to go, but it's worth it!

MCG · April 2006

I buy the records of bands I like. Most times if I've never heard something and I'm not too sure about it I will download it, then if I like it I will buy the record. No sense giving $20 to a band for a cd you hate. If anything all that downloading does is allows me to preview potential purchases.

I still buy CD's because I refuse to pay good money for MP3's. I can make my own MP3's with CD's. Plus, I like the artwork whenever a band bothers to make it interesting

I will never stop buying cd's and vinyl, my girlfriend thinks I have an addiction, when i take the wrapping off a new disc the first thing I do is smell it, nothing like the smell of a new disc, does anybody else do this?

I legally download more than I do purchase the physical copy. Rarely is artwork that interesting to where I would look at it more than once.

besides, finding room to store CD's is becoming a pain in my ass.

Remember than your computer will peter out and die one day, CD's will stay with you forever. I generally download songs that lead me into buying CD's.

Absolutely...love browsing at Newbury Comics, love having the actual cd and art, love the quality of sound vs my iPod.

As a matter of fact, today's run was:

Twilight Singers - "Blackberry Belle"
Rainer Maria - "Catastrophe Keeps Us Together"
Queensryche - "Operation: Mindcrime II"

I'm afraid to listen to O:M II...could wind up with some serious buyer's remorse.

dCowboyPJ · April 2006

I buy all my music. I buy cds all the time. I buy way to many actually. I hate having just a downloaded copy of an album.

Alessiana · April 2006

i buy cds. i love cds. i'd much rather have a cd then a file. if the file is all i have then ok, but i love my cds.

pjoasisrule · April 2006

After getting a cd burner, I went about 2 years without buying one cd, then I would buy a cd not very often, 3 or 4 a year maybe, and about a year ago I started buying again, now I buy 3-4 albums a month.........mostly ones that I wanted to own after burning, stuff I know I would want, and rarely a new album

whatsthefreezer · April 2006

I do. Just bought two yesterday.

pjoasisrule · April 2006

I have turntables though so I actually get way more vinyl records than cds........but they are all used ones that I get for no more than a dollar most of the time

pjamdude69 · April 2006

I buy CD's all the time.. Just got Binaural, Vitalogy and No Code last night- got ALL my CD's ripped off a couple years ago, and slowly but surely getting all the PJ studio stuff re-purchased. Finally completed it by getting those last three. Been subsisting on boots, burned stuff, Benaroya, etc, etc. Finally figured fuck it, it's goddamn time to finish off the collection.

Been pickin up old school rock CD's lately too- all the old Van Halen (the first four), AC/DC (Bon Scott stuff), Best of the Who, etc.. I prefer stuff I already know rocks. If it's a new band, I may check out some of those 30 second snippets that were mentioned above, just to get a taste... Or even check out a particular bands' website....

Buying, seeing, touching, feeling, reading liner notes, all good things about purchasing a CD..

I don't like downloading music really. There's a place by me called "rolling stones" that sells cd's really cheap. A cd will usually cost me 7.99 as opposed to itunes and paying ten bucks. I too like looking at my cd rack and seeing all of those cases stacked up. I rip a lot of them onto my computer, but i don't want to go out and spend a couple hundred bucks on an ipod. Cd's are better to me. I'll ocassionaly go out and pick up records too. I've got about a good twenty records of classic rock stuff and a couple pj. Fuck digital music.

How do you get 10,000+ posts and not own a computer?

I sense a scam. Or possibly a scam-ola!

Work allows me seven hours of play and one hour of work.

No night or weekend posts for this PJ fan.

Tremorisinmytree: I used to love the smell of new cassettes when you opened them.

Anything that I like I will buy the CD.

I havent downloaded much in the last couple of years but anything I did download and liked I would buy. I have about 350 cds right now. Buy about 2 a month I would estimate.

I do however buy a ton of used ones. There is a great store in the area that has an online wishlist that checks stock in all the other locations. Get stuff transferred locally or mailed to you. Prices are about 1/2 of a new disc.

They always have a ton of the 2000 bootlegs.

Does anyone actually buy music anymore?
