I never download music and just listen to all the albums I want through You Tube (they seem to have everything on there) I mostly buy cd's and have a large collection, but always look for bargains and rarely pay over £5 for a CD, there are loads of great buys around both new and second hand. Its a pity the big boys like HMV don't reduce their prices as I would buy a lot more.

Got a $50 iTunes card and I don't even have iTunes anymore. I'm seriously considering selling it to a person with an iPhone for $30 or so.
I seriously download like, everything. Except for VERY extreme exceptions, a la my favourite bands.

I used to have a crippling music purchasing habit. I was spending ~500 USD on albums a month. That was when I had disposable income.
These days I just download. It saves me a step anyhow. Ripping cds is goddamn time consuming.

I download everything, but I'll spend up to $200 on vinyl most months. I rarely if ever buy CDs anymore, I only do if it's an amazing deal, I can't get it on vinyl/the vinyl is impossible to obtain, or if it has special features (like a bonus DVD).

Plus, I play the album on my stereo system (which kicks ass), my iTunes library, and my iPod all whilst listening to the same song through headphones. It becomes an insane compilation of delay study, and I fucking love it.

The biggest problem I find when I download music is that I end up with so much I never ever listen to. It's not just a problem with music -- wrestling, comics, TV, anything can pile up that way for me.
Even buying iTunes/amazonMP3/etc, which is how I get the bulk of my music now, leads to albums being un-used because it's so easy to buy 3 or 5 or 10 at a time. I am seriously considering going back to CDs and Vinyl, just to slow down my acquisition and force myself to appreciate what I buy. |

I prefer to download music, as it gives me a chance to find out if I really like the records or not. In the past I've made mistakes buying CD's that end up being rubbish. I do try and buy New Zealand music as it's such a fragile industry but produces amazing stuff.
