I always buy the CD from a local music store, although I often listen to music "excerpts" from CDs to make sure I like the song before I buy the CD. Some sites offer this option of previewing the song before you buy it.

Only if it is a band I really like. In the past two years, I think I have purchased two CDs, and one of them was a single from NICO Touches the Walls. I really wanted it, ha ha. I just can't afford regular CDs. I try to get them if they're on sale, but it is so rare that I actually buy them.

Normally, I download or listen music online with Youtube.That's quite convenient and coz that I don't have much money and my tastes of the music are various that I cannot affort to buy all the albums that I may want to listen to.:-)

yes i buy original cds. i have nothing against those who buy "pirated" ones or download their favorite music in the internet, i just find satisfaction in owning the albums of my favorite artists and bands. i keep my cds, almost 500 of these, carefully stacked in a wall shelf in my music room.i rearrange these cds depending on my mood.sometimes by genre, sometimes alphabetically, and sometimes out of whim, i try to figure out how i get to listen from one band to another sort of like what the main character does in nick hornby's classic book "high fidelity" does. lol!!!!
anyway, just admiring and looking at my cd collection gives me utmost joy and i'm glad to add one or two titles every chance i can get.
cheers!!!

I honestly say that I am not purchasing original cds I am downloading songs from Internet because original sound tracks are very costly and we need more songs so how can we buy those songs with that costly prices.

ometimes I do buy original CDs cause I want see labels, pictures and other stuff you can see anywhere except for buying an original one. I also download free ones specially when I dont have money to spend for original CD. But I still prefer original ones.

Well I go in for downloading from Internet , for not the sake of saving those bucks but beacuse you have an option to pick your stuff and play it again n again :)

Hey , mate!
No, I don't do it, because it's very expensive for me. And also i'm not BIG fan of music bands. I like some songs, and i listen them somewhere in internet. Often in YouTube :)
