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

[T@R]

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

ok well if you can honestly say you've purchased more vinyl than digital/ cds in the past year than i'm not gonna sit here and argue with you, i just still find that highly unlikely in today's economic climate, especially with the laziness with which our generation is known for

[Elegance]

either itunes or cd's !

I still find the idea of someone buying the 'majority' of their music on vinyl laughable.

[Chippiewill]

Technically I don't purchase, I spotify my songs instead.

Vinyl is dumb.
CD is expensive.
Digital is awesome, convenient, portable, cheap and popularised by Stevey with the Jobs.

Digital is the future.

ugh.
I voted based on what I've bought over the past year. It's not like I've bought 100 records :S

I don't buy cd's. I prefer to support artists by buying tickets to their shows - they make a lot more off of this than buying an album. The prices for CD's in general are insane now anyway - $20 for 45 minutes worth of music? :x

is it really $20? ouch. usually about £8-£10 in UK

For the more popular stuff, yeah. Of course, there's always 'bargain bin' music that either isn't selling well or is a few years old.

Note the fact you said "whoever voted vinyl is lying"

As I said there are some real DJs on here. You made an assumption. The majority of people do buy either digital or CDs but there's always going to be some who purchase a load of vinyl's. However the way you worded your post states that if anyone did vote it they would be lying, which is simply an assumption.

I did this on our Facebook page which allowed people to tick multiple options and even add their own. A few added that they downloaded illegally, a few probably do that voted but didn't want to admit, but a few seem to purchase both CD's and Vinyl's.

It does show to me that while we live in a digital age, the information age, or whatever you want to call it, a lot prefer some older ways and for some things I can't blame them. I'm digital with games, use Steam 99 percent of the time except for PS3 games. I think Steam is amazing, often sells them cheap and so on, but I'm not really fused about games as I'll play a game usually once and that's all. When it comes to digital stuff, I like to have a physical copy, be it a DVD or a CD and I'll probably play it multiple times.

I also think Cloud Technology has a lot of work needed right now. Many sites this year, Sony being a key one, have been hacked, mainly by so called hacktivists and it really begs the question, is cloud computing that reliable? I've heard of Steam users getting hacked, and loosing their account and games and not being able to recover it. As I mentioned I usually play games once, although some I'll play for their online content, so It's not as big a deal. But music is my life, its why I run a radio station. If I lost all my music, and in the past it's partly happened, I'd not be happy.

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)

Why are you getting argumentative about someone stating they buy more music on vinyl than they do digitally? Is it really offending you that much that you are demanding proof? Is it that important to you?

I still find the idea of someone buying the 'majority' of their music on vinyl laughable.

What the hell LOL Why?
