Who still buys music these days? I just bought Delta Machine by Depeche Mode, Grrr by the Stones and Culture of Fear by Thievery Corporation. Most people seem to pirate but I still pay for stuff - a good lad I am.
-
I think the majority still buy, rather than just copy. Though I think more buy downloads from likes from gayTunes, and probably more singles than albums.
I prefer CDs still - something physical for my cash.
That said, I probably buy more 2nd hand ones than new now - but then the town centre where I work has a load of charity shops, and no music shops ;D
-
I buy cds then copy them for my car-just in case they get damaged :y but my music is better when on records-old fifties rockabilly-but hey ho each there own :y
-
I use an app on the iPhone called McTube Pro and buy from iTunes occasionally if i like the sound of something. Haven't bought a CD for years...
-
i just had bula quo off my daughter . i dont copy i buy them as well :y :y
-
The odd track I like from an obscure artist I'll get from ITunes. Any more than that I'll buy a new CD, as my taste is up to date. :)
...this also means I don't buy many, due to trash in the charts.
Absolute radio has become my favourite radio station lately. No rap, no boy or girl bands just lots of classics, Indy, and proper bands.
-
I always buy my records, just been a while since I did...... :y :y
-
I always buy CDs. Don't use downloads due to protection and you never actually owning it.
As an IP software developer, I always buy and don't steal other people's IP.
-
I'm still on 78's & 45's :(
-
Wtf is one of those :o
Purchasing Music on physical media is dead :)

At least its mine, physically in my hand.
When the likes of crApple go tits up (they will), and gayTunes can no longer confirm your purchases with the gayTunes store, thus removes them, my CDs will still work.
In addition, my CDs play in my crappy FL headunit ;D
-
Yep I still buy on CD and always will. I want the case and artwork etc. I don't buy anywhere near what I dd on vinyl but I still want the physical item.
I suppose for me it is the collectors bit.
I occasionally buy and sell second hand records.
-
I buy loads of physical CDs. Even if I grab an album via P2P download, its just to see if it's any good before buying it. Never used iTunes and unlikely to. And, as someone else mentioned, standard Miggy head unit won't play copied CDs.
My biggest recent problem is the demise and rescue of HMV. Their online shop was never restored.
Now, I go to Fopp Records, and spend a fortune in one go. ;D ;D
Radio ? Team Rock Radio or Planet Rock on DAB. Great stuff :y
-
CDs are the only medium (apart from vinyl!) where the sound quality is up to par.
I don't happen to believe a DRM'ed, lossy compressed file download is worth any money, so you won't find me buying any. :)
-
Still buy the odd CD now and then.Wouldn't know how to download such a thing pitated or not!!
-
Still love playing my old vinyl 33rpm,s, lovely mellow sounds. My old Goldring deck still going strong too. :y
-

DRM is easy to circumvent, it's the fact that the music is in a lossy format that stops me from using the download route.

Yup :y :y
Plus, I dislike the control freak nature of iTunes. Having to do what it wants me to do rather than what I want to do.
-
The only problem with Itunes is that you need either a gaypod,gayphone or a gaypad for it to work properly ::)
For me, it's either the shops (HMV/Tescos) or Play.com :y

Try iPhone Magic Platinum (http://www.xilisoft.com/iphone-magic.html), it got a friend out of deep do-do when iTunes failed her.

You also need a Mac. iTunes on Windows is guaranteed to delete any music that Mr Jobs didn't like. iTunes is best avoided under all circumstances if possible.

I go one stage further. I just don't buy anything that starts with an " i " ;D

Yeah, works for me, except for the phone. They are the only ones who can make a smartphone that is genuinely useful to me. Android, Gooseberry and Windows all fall flat on email/collaboration. So I have to be partially gay.

Thats the downside, most compilations have a handful of good tracks and then trash. It was Europe, BTW.

Oh yeah, so it was. I strongly suspect you have no idea what so ever, how GAY this is. :o

Pretty much any bands from my early teen years looked gay. In fact, most turned out to be...

Dont download any music, just good ole cd's for me o and tapes,as my ccr600 has a tape player, lets rock. :D
-
my ccr600 has a tape player
As does mine.
Shame I took it out about 5yrs ago and replaced with an NCDR1500 with CID...
...that said, I've got a gayPod wired in to it now, so I no longer miss my cassette adapter.

Do you think he used to hang around with the boys in chinos, pastel coloured shirts, those gay little leather ties and permed hair? :o Oh.. Or maybe he was one of them? :-X
;)
-
I had chinos and pastel shirts in the late 80s. Never had a leather tie, though, so never came fully out.
White socks. I remember white socks.

I have no idea what your talking about ???

According to a couple of friends I have who understand such things, its keys hanging off belts now, and which side suggests how you want to play...
