Downloading music

[dahjah]

Do you do this?
Is this your major avenue of getting music?
If you download do you eventually go out and buy the music from the artist if you like it?
How does an artist get paid for his work, or afford studio time if him cyaan get money for the work he has done?

How do you feel bout dis?

Re: Downloading music

i use itunes as my downloading source.
i also still go into the store and purchase cds.
i find that i still have to go into local stores (which i dont mind doing) or directly to the artists myspace page for info, as i dont listen to alot of "top 40/50/100 Billboard artists" and itunes tend to sell only the top artists.
most tunes still end up in the ipod, though. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70409-waytogo.gif[/img]
