I'm not real picky about bitrate, so I tend to still find/get some new stuff from music blogs. Occasionally I'll hit up Skreemr or something like that and what I want will be there.

I have to agree. That is the worst part about blogs. You never know if you're getting a horribly transcoded rip of if you're getting a virus.

Though I must admit your mention of a certain peer to peer has me intrigued, especially if you don't have to maintain a ratio.

Buying vinyl, cds, and using every possible source on the internet (Soulseek, Torrents, blog searches, ect).

I'm quite knowledgeable when it comes to finding obscure music.
Well, only after years of trying to find that one album or artist do I find a new way to acquire it.

Torrenting seems to work a lot quicker for me, and you can download entire discographies pretty easily.

Other than that i pop into record shops.
i used to torrent entire discographies, but after a while i felt that listening to all of an artist's work at once burned me out on them fairly easily. these days i like to take times with things like this, getting the next cd after i've really gotten good with the previous one, you know?

I hear ya. I've never understood why someone would need to grab an artist's entire discography all at once. I find that overwhelming, even if you intend to focus on one at a time. It's too easy to jump to the next before fully absorbing the first. There's just no sense in it for me.

Wow, I'm surprised so few people just go out and buy music. I like used CD stores, music stores and online music stores.

I rely on blogs to learn about new artists. I get a lot of CDs from the library, though. There's something much more rewarding about having the actual CD in your hand... even if the case is held together with tape and the disk is all scratched up.

Definitely. It's just (sadly) becoming less and less important to me since I listen to 99% of my music on my computer and iPod. I still have a big CD collection and it grows, just more slowly than it used to. And I used to LOVE going to record stores, it was pretty much a weekly pastime for me from my early teens to my late 20s. These days I'm often just too disappointed with the selection when I do go, and have better luck online (naturally). The experience is cool, even if I leave empty handed, but I'm just old and impatient now.
