How do you purchase your music (CD's/Vinyl's/Digitally)?

[garriet]

Well I don't often by CD's anymore only receive them as a gift, but if I wanted to buy a random song then I would most likely buy it off iTunes !

Digitally, Spotify Premium subscription.

Would be lost without it! My music taste has really broadened because of it

When I buy albums I always get a CD... I can't understand owning an album but not holding it, I just don't like it :razz: What if your computer died? You would lose them all But singles, I always buy them from iTunes...

I have some albums on vinyl but they are all old ones that I've got from my parents really... The only new vinyls I have are two Little Boots singles lolz

You wouldn't they are stored on the cloud too - so if your PC dies you can just redownload on a different PC - which you couldn't do if you broke a CD.

hiya, I did vote vinyl.

I will buy vinyl whenever it is available if I buy a physical copy (which I normally do)

I believe it's a good investment compared to CDs, yes, they may be worth a bit more in the future compared to CDs which you can usually find for like £2/3 on ebay or something.

I don't illegally download unless it is an artist that sells loads. I never download leaks as I think of it as a bit of a 'gift', you wouldn't open a christmas present early, etc.

Even if they don't have a download code, I can easily rip it from the vinyl.

SO YEAH. don't make presumptions pls.

I love how people think it is somewhat more morally right to download artists CD's if they sell more than other artists..

whoever voted vinyl is lying
i'd say 90% of my music is purchased/illegally downloaded digitally
and then if i have like HMV vouchers or people are getting me gifts then it comes as a CD i guess
if there's an album from a band i love then i'd consider getting in on Vinyl, although the only artists i have bought vinyl for recently were the strokes and the arctic monkeys'new albums and i have digital copies of them too... the vinyl's are just for like personal collection (also i reckon they'll be worth a lot in the future so if anyone wants the strokes or the arctic monkeys' discographies on vinyl in 30 years look me up)

are they really? no..

Yeah but all sorts of things could go wrong, and I feel more in control of my albums if I have a physical copy, if I buy it digitally I don't really feel like I own it and if something got deleted or corrupted or whatever I would be more annoyed than if I would be if I was so ridiculously clumsy to break a CD, cos I could at least blame it on myself then haha. Plus if your computer broke or something you wouldn't have your music for a while and I'd be all

ok lmao so you think you own more vinyls than digital copies of songs?
forgive me for being sceptical but would you mind showing me this vast collection of yours?
i'm not saying people don't buy vinyl, i'm just saying the majority of people's music, even if they do buy vinyl, will be in digital format, or at most CDs...

that doesn't mean everyone buys digital more than vinyl like you suggested though

[T@R]

that doesn't mean everyone buys digital more than vinyl like you suggested though

yeah well i think it does though
i may be wrong but with it being so easy to get digital copies of songs/ albums at the click of a button, i really don't think anybody has more vinyl than they do digital songs, but i'm open to the idea of somebody proving me wrong (although a big collection of your dad's old records doesn't count or i'd win)

The question was how do you purchase music.
I answered it based on how I purchase music today, sure sometimes I buy CDs and sometimes I buy downloads, but at the moment the majority is vinyl.
Yes I do have more CDs than records, but I'm basing it on what I currently buy today

I love how people think it is somewhat more morally right to download artists CD's if they sell more than other artists..

I guess it's not, but on the record company's viewpoint, I'd rather put money towards smaller acts to show that their acts have people buying their products, I mean who's more likely to get signed for another record, Lady GaGa or [Random Band]

oh what do you mean by today?
i thought the question was just asking in general... if we're going to be that specific, the only music i've purchased in the past month is one vinyl record, so i guess i should join you on that vote!

In the past year. Sure a year isn't THAT long, but it should be long enough to base the answer off of.
