When buying music, you prefer to..

[radio napalm]

If there's a band that you're really digging, and everything costs the same price, which would you prefer to buy?

[recall reality]

buy the cd... seriously no doubt.

but thats if i'm really digging em. i download a lot... not so legally, just to check it out.

[ihatecayte]

i only buy CDs of bands i really like. otherwise, it's all downloading.

[Co and Ca]

If I'm not familiar with the band, I usually download. If I like the band enough/have the money, I go out and buy the CD. If not, I usually end up seeing them at a show anyways. So my money usually goes to them somehow.

[The Stiletto]

I discovered a lot of bands by downloading some of their songs. When I really like what I hear, I go out and buy the CD.

[IATA4224]

Download the cd from oink when it leaks, then go buy the album

[overitsi22]

I honestly dont dl much at all, i will check out purevolume or myspace of a band i dont know, and if i like them i will buy the cd, if not, i dont buy it or dl it, so buying all the way for me........

[ArTkY_]

I download then buy the CD.

[jjjkman]

ummm.....what is oink..................?

[billyboatkid]

Download the cd from oink when it leaks, then go buy the album

wanna invite me to oink :wave:

[NJUNDERDOG]

if i really love it i try to buy it on vinyl if they press it along with buying the cd

[...generic...]

I like buying the cd...but sometimes downloading them is good too whether free or illegal.

everyone who voted for the oink option is a moron... and so is the poll maker. there's no better way to get a site like that taken down... and give the RIAA and whole load of new people to sue than advertising its existence all over the internet.

honestly, i wouldn't mind if that site got taken down. in fact, i'd be happy about it.

[noelle34]

i use lime wire.....but i pay 1 price and then i get a bunch of free music....well thats at least how i think it works

Don't forget the cost of the lawsuit. :-D

[singyoutocoma]

I buy, and buy used. Paying $5, even for a CD I wind up not loving, isn't that bad to me. Amazon Used ftw.

[White Noise]

I usually download the CD, and if i really like it then i will buy it.

[WFUJerseyJon]

i like to buy cd's as long as i have money at the time. when i'm low on dough though, they're the first thing to go.

[chiodos13]

piggy's say what?

[ATunderdogK]

i buy music i really like now. it wasnt like that before until my hard drive crashed and i lost over 10,000 songs. so i like having a physical copies.

[MikeyEdge FL]

vinyl all the way. in my opinion the sound is better than cd, the artwork is just so much bigger with more detail, and the value of vinyl in the long run is so much more than cd's or anything else.

so if you can buy vinyls i highly recommend it.

[Derekx]

If it's a band I absolotely love I'll buy the cd. If they happen to release a cool picture disc or colored vinyl, I'd probably pick that up too.

[noelle34]

Don't forget the cost of the lawsuit. :-D




haha hilarious..............isnt it legal if u buy it??

[etrox318]

I never download, I always buy the CD. Downloading doesn't give you the CD case, and I like to look at the case ... I know that's quite weird.

[radio napalm]

haha hilarious..............isnt it legal if u buy it??

limewire? no.

[PassedOut]

Although downloading is super convenient, I am definitely trying to get back into buying more CDs. I always try to buy the CD when its a smaller touring band.

[irishpunk14]

i only buy the cd if it's cheaper,comes with a dvd, or is a band that i really like.

[punk_rock609]

cds
and vinyl
cds rock
and vinyls are jsut amazzing

[meliisssaaaa]

buy the cd, no doubt.

[Nowisnotthetime]

I wish the vinyl with a digital code enclosed would take over (Check out Saddle Creek vinyl and others). It's an awesome collector's thing and you get the digital files.

[Sancho]

Buy the cd.

I would download, but dial up sucks asscrack.

[emerypearl]

Ill buy the cd after downloading it if its really good and worth it.

[Poochemist]

I like to have the hard copy over anything else.

[tommyhaych]

CD's all the way.

My friend sometimes rips me CD's. If I really like them, I then go out and buy them.

I love buying CD's simply for the value of the purchase. I don't get a dozen mp3's - I get a CD with a dozen songs on, a lyric book complete with artwork and a CD case too.

Also, I take chances on buying the cds. If I don't like it - what the hell? Just a bad purchase really.

If I do like it then bingo!

[SpenXcore]

Ditto.

[giovanni_c]

I use both iTunes and CDs. But CDs are when I really care about the band, or when I'm in the mood to go out to Target or wherever. I use online streams to hear it first - no risk of lawsuits and no file ratios to keep up.

[ByelineCole]

:pig:

[noelle34]

limewire? no.

o............im such a loser ....i thought it was if u buy it ...o well ...........it gives my computer a lot of viruses though so ill prolly stop using it anyway

[chris07007]

i'll usually download the cd just to get a feel for it a couple days before the release then if i really like it i'll got the stores

im pretty sure even the RIAA knows about oink
its even been published in .. wasnt it blender magazine's top 25 most influential people in music?
tho the site creator has kept an extremely low profile to keep himself out of trouble
and from what i hear its a pretty damn secure network

[IamNogreatMan]

I buy all my cds unless it isn't out in stores where i live nor digitally to buy. Then I ether use purevolume to stay happy with the band or find some of their songs elsewhere till I can buy it.

However, I hate this re-release crap. If I am supporting your cd since day one but then you come out with a SUPER EXTRA VERSION 6 months later, I am getting those bonus songs.

[getfamous]

buy the cd or download until I have the money to buy it.

[lindsaymichelle]

anyone wanna invite me to oink?

[SanePsychotic]

I download (usually from iTunes, although I do snag the free downloads from Purevolume or a band's MS when I can) when I am trying to see if I like a band enough to buy their CD. I buy a song or two and if I like it, I buy the actual CD. If I don't like it, then it's not like I wasted $15 on it, just $1 or $2.

[Blue Mouse]

i can't be dealing with all the downloading crap, it may cost more but if i really like the album i'll just go and buy it.

[nels1912]

I like to wake up on release day and pick up the albums I want off of itunes so I can listen to them while I am at work all day. Convience factor... I totally understand why people still want cd's though.

[woominlee2]

oink oink

[StarryNight10]

If I find a band that I like on myspace or purevolume, I'll look on ebay to see if I can buy it cheap. If not, I'll check around with my friends to see if anyone has the CD I could borrow or just buy it on iTunes. I never download music illeglally off of the internet.

[3mpire]

Used to Oink, but now I've got tired of it all and have gone back to buying CDs.

[Koopato]

i buy cds mostly. i do dl some stuff, mostly older things. i'd buy vinyls if there was a store that sold new releases in my town.... i get some at shows sometimes, of albums i really like.

[rockaholic]

i buy cd's if i really like the band.
if i've only just heard of them, i listen to a few on download and then i buy the cd if i like 'em.

[Thug_Nasty]

if it was all the same price like you said definetly the cd

[luv2laff88]

i love vinyl but i dont prefer to listen to much of it. only collect. and why would i want cd and the vinyl for every thing i buy? i dont. i buy collectors shit
