Does anybody actually "buy" music anymore?

[leeferdude]

I buy them occasionally. Usually from bands I choose to support.

I don't buy much these days, though I've thought about freshing up my record "collection".

I do however go to the odd concert, and I'm off to two festivals this year so support of the bands should be plentiful this summer.

And yes, I would buy more records if it were not for the prices (beeing a student).

I'm glad you guys are giving me feedback.
As a musician, I sometimes get down about the current state of the music industry, especially the whole file "sharing" thing. The funny thing is that I actually think it does more good than bad. I do believe it turns a lot of people on to great musc they might not otherwise come across...

I once read where Neil Peart of Rush mentioned how
"most musicians have to be a bit nuts to do what they do... try to find anyone who would spend their ENTIRE life to learn and perfect a skill in order to MAYBE make a living. A doctor at MOST might spend 8 or 10 years to educate themselves"
Sounds nuts doesn't it

I also have a good friend who has always said... "Don't worry... Nothing will ever replace live music... that's what it's really all about"

It's great to see that this is totally true and that you guys support the bands you really love...

Keep On Keepin' On

Of course. Why would you buy it just cuz its there?

[Skiz]

I haven't actually bought a cd in about five or six years.

[abu_has_the_power]

hell no. the last cd i bought was limp bizkit Significant Other. and that was in like 1999 when i got my 1st cd player. 6 years baby. whoooooo!

CD's here are $30 as well. It's just too much, especially when I might only like 1/3 of the songs on it.

I do, however, buy CD's to support artists who I particularly respect and like.
