buy or burn? (2 Viewers)

[bex]

do you prefer to buy cds or burn them?

i like to buy them cause i dont just buy them for their music, but for the cover and disc art. Also, if its an artist who is still making it (australian artists and bands especially) etc I like to support them through buying the cd.

 

[walrusbear]

i like to buy them

it usually comes down to availability of moneys

 

[Survivor39]

Yep! I agree. But I found myself supporting overseas artists.

I've got no burn-CD.

 

[reynaldo]

$30 for 10-15 songs

or

$0 for unlimited songs

i can understand if you're like really poor and can't afford to buy cd's all the time, but in my honest opinion if you truly like a band and support them you should buy their cd, otherwise you're not a true fan.

musicians have to earn a living too, and it is mainly through their fans' support

yep i agree with you (in theory). but the reality is, its easier and cheaper. and i feel really really bad doing it! but i cant help it! cos i dont get paid much and i never have money to buy cds.. thats why i tend to ask for my favourite musician's cds for xmas/birthday so i dont have to download their music cos i feel bad when i do it.. but yeh, i admit, i do do it.

i mostly buy cds, though if i like individual songs, i'll probably download them.

if i like the band, i will definitely get their cds, as demonstrated by my ever-increasing cd collection

you may be stupid but at least you're not being a cheapskate and actually supporting good music (that is assuming you have good taste in music)

I use downloading as a means of sampling bands, and then buy the album if;
A.)I can find it at a reasonable price.
B.)Can afford it (And when I can't, I wait. )

 

[Xayma]

I prefer to buy but I dont get many cds anyway (I dont listen to much music).

 

[tooheyz]

i download songs or stream them

then for good cds, i buy them.
last one i brought was kylie's new album as well as soundtrack to 'honey'

I burn cds. I go to say K-mart or something and buy stickers to put on the cds, so they look like i bought them and they look nicer than what they do with no covers.

 

[hipsta_jess]

i usually burn coz i dont get all that much money, and then when i do buy a cd i only listen to a few songs on it

because my musical interests are so erratic, i usually only like 1-2 songs per artist.

however i do buy albums, on the rare occasion in which i like more than half the songs on the CD.

i think the last time that happened was the Ramones Anthology about 1-2 years ago..

 

[Malazn Pleasure]

i havent bought a cd in years. but i do burn alot of albums

so thats like $30 for 100 blank cds = 100 full albums of bands and singers
