Who still buys cds?

[sbessiso]

that REM live cd is pretty fucking good, and i dont have the patience for the mix-up

[dropbeats]

I work at a Cd store so I buy them all the time. I think i've got over 250 now

Is the best way to show the support you have for a certain artist, and obviously to show your passion for music, say no to illegal downloading!

[Sonicifyouwantit]

If I'm going to buy an album I buy vinyl. Sometmes you get free download codes in the album cover, or I just download. I recently sold all of my cds since I have them backed up on two harddrives and one of my friends...60000 tracks and growing. who has room for cds? Not I.

best way to show support is to see the band live and buy tshirts, they get a larger percentage on live shows than on cd sales.

Sorry.. I don't spend any of my money on cds.. but i spend hundreds on concerts every year.. either way.. they are getting my money.

[instinct]

OR if you view music that way either your cheap or a loser...

Nah, I'm definitely cheap.. My girlfriend could tell you that.

Yeah but in my case, I cannot afford to travel that often to catch live shows, so buying records and merchandise is my way to show support, we rarely get some good shows on this area, which makes it more complicated..

[Cheddar's Cousin]

I buy cds because I am old, and I can't comprehend the notion of owning something and not being able to hold it. I enjoy actual , physical packaging and artwork. I still buy vinyl on occasion too.

[noisemachine]

I buy CDs, but only when I can get them at a decent price. I generally refuse to spend more than $10-$12 on a CD unless its something really special. I don't think CDs should cost any more than $10 anywhere.

Hard to buy tees when a lot of bands don't stock bigger than an L; Helio Sequence last night, I'm looking in your direction.

[braxtron]

I only buy vinyl...

[C DUB YA]

1500 LPs

Yeah. I buy a ton of used CDs. They're usually $3-$7 which is way more manageable than $20 or whatever for a new one. I only buy new CDs if its a must have or a good deal.

[mattpach]

I buy CDs only because I have gone through like 7 laptops(they were all cheap and in constant use condisering we didnt have a desktop) in like 3 years and keep losing all my music. So at least this way i have everything on CD

[higgybaby23]

I mostly buy vinyl, but sometimes it's easier to pick up something on CD. (Especially if it's used)

[greghead]

Mostly cd's. I have over 1,000. I like having a hard copy that I can look at and hold and keep.

[stuporfly]

My CD purchasing has dropped considerably, though it has less to do with downloading and more to do with having to adjust my budget for a variety of reasons.

[mvanwinkle]

I have never dowloaded music. ever.

[mr powerful]

cool. what else do you like about cds?

I like that I can use them as a mirror iN case of an emergency.

[clecirclecir@juno.com]

I support specific favorite artists by all means possible...
otherwise i download albums and if i like them enough i buy the hard copy later for various already listed reasons.
if i don't they get deleted or sent to the external drive for a later listen.

[jonnypark]

My current financial situation requires me to illegally download most of my music.

[marooko]

what? cd's?

[Edmontonian]

vinyl or bust... literally. I quit cds when I realized they don't last more than a few years if you listen to them often...

[MarkO]

Orly ?? I've had some of my cd's for going on 17yrs now. No problems with any of them.

[C DUB YA]

Um - this is completely untrue - I still have my first CD that I bought in 86, sounds exactly the same, i've listened to it countless times.

[woogie846]

No way, I have some really, really old cds that sound just the same as they did when I bought them.

[BlackSwan]

i haven't bought a CD in years, but i spend an excessive amount of money on tickets so it evens out.

yea, if you scratch the shit out of them.

[thinnerair]

i buy a cd from time to time.

bands do that because they don't want overweight people wearing their shirts, only skinny scene kids who will uphold the band's image...
