How Do You Buy Your Music?

Post by TubaTodd »

I bought 3 Center City Brass CD's off of Amazon from a 3rd party. The musicianship on the albums is off the hook!!! So I was wondering....how do y'all buy your music these days?

Slightly different topic, but I ALWAYS rip my CD's to digital files. This time around I decided to do high quality ogg files instead of 320 mp3's.

Amazon, and if its not there, then I buy the CD (and grumble about it). I haven't used itunes in several years (yes, that means the music on my ipod hasn't changed in a very long time).

Also, not to be picky, but youtube and grooveshark are free. I use those a lot, but it's not how I buy my music. :)

I know they are free...so is Spotify. When bloke mentioned youtube it made me think that maybe some folks have just resorted means other than purchase.

I usually buy CDs and rip them. The CD then serves as a backup. I don't trust the stability of businesses these days to let the cloud hold music I have paid for. The physical CD is the musical version of gold. I can hold it in my hand.
