Do you purchase your music?

[The Professor]

Nope, never bought a song in my life. I'm not really that into music so buying it with money would seem a bit of a waste to me, I just like it on in the background.

[Charlie]

I do both. Everytime I go town I take money and come back with an album or two because I still like listening to music on my CD player but if I'm skint or I can't get out to buy the album or it isn't released in the UK yet, I'll download it.

[Jordy]

If I like the artist I'll buy their albums but if I want to experiment a little and try other artists I'll torrent them to see how good they are.

For odd songs I always use iTunes however I still don't like iTunes as although with 'iTunes Plus' it's no longer DRM, it's still in the same crap AAC format. Why can't they just use MP3s fgs.

When have apple ever done anything remotely user friendly? If you want to use their stuff you have to live in their universe and accept their rules. Shame they can't take the open source approach of "here's some stuff, make it better and distribute it for us, we'll love you forever xxx"

It's funny you say that because I believe Mac OS X is based on the open-source UNIX and so's Safari based on open-source code as well.

Seems to be all take and no give.

I buy all my music. Used to from iTunes, but now from Nokia Store, simply because its compatible with my phone.

Its a pin though, coz I want to become a DJ, but have a huge lack of music atm, and can't afford to buy loads more. So it would be easier if I downloaded it illegally, but I just wont.

[9y]

I download WAY too much. but not from limewire, I just get links. Rapidshare FTW.

[Stephen!]

I would like to, but i don't.

[LeeroyJenkins]

torrents ftw.

i would rather leave me computer on overnight to seed & leech rather than go to the store and get an album.

and there is no itunes store for my country, but i do use itunes and acc files > mp3.
