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

[Oleh]

Does paying £3 a month for a download service suffice? If not, I buy the odd single such as "Louder" and "Promises". Once I get a car, cd's may be more frequented by me, unless I get a hotshot radio with an iDevice connector.

Depends. A lot of download services, your actually only paying for the software. People don't actually realise LimeWire was actually legal in itself. They had the whole you agree not to use LimeWire against copyright stuff so that the users who did where the ones breaking the law. LimeWire never hosted the files it was all down to the user.

If some service is offering unlimited music, software film and TV downloads for a monthly figure then high chances are its a scam.

T@R clearly listens to awful music that doesn't release on vinyl otherwise he'd know how awesome it is when you open up the package and smell the pretty vinyl and then listen to all the indents on a piece of plastic make crystal clear music

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.

can't really be bothered reading all that, you need to stop trying so hard on a forum lmao

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?

no i don't really care that's why i said 'i'm not gonna sit here and argue'
can you not read?

p.s i still vote digital!!@@~~

Yes I did read that, but I also read your four posts earlier that contradict that statement sooo...

pathetic

I used to always buy cds and I would still rather have something physical than downloading. Any music I have downloaded in the past, I have end up losing because I didn't back it up. Although I don't buy as much anymore. I mainly just use spotify/youtube.

Nothing but digital here.

[-:Undertaker:-]

Youtube, if I buy a CD (maybe one a year if that) i'll go to HMV.

Then why even bother wasting my time writing that? You clearly put the person was lying, as if no one in the world buys vinyl's today.
