I used to download songs through limewire, up to now but I'd prefer buying song off Itunes for my Ipod. How about you?

Hello friend, A decade back,when I did not have a computer with internet connection, I would go to the market and purchase the music cassettes. Now we have three systems at our home with wi fi broadband connection so we don't really need to buy music now. I know piracy is illegal but then, it is just so much easier to be sitting in your living room and then download all the stuff you want in this world.

I totally agree, even though it's illegal I still download. But sometimes I'm having doubts because some sites or programs that let you download illegally can give you viruses.

i've never actually bought songs from itunes :P limewire is my best friend. But that's because I download so many songs that I would probably have to pay a fortune. Although, I do often buy albums and such and just put the songs on my computer. I guess I like doing that the best if it's an album by someone I really love. To be honest, I don't want to pay for a song that I probably won't listen to all the time. I'm an obsessive person so I go through song phases in which I obsess over a song for a week or something and move on to different songs.

Ha-ha! That is so me, once I listen to new or old songs that catch my attention I'd end up listening and get obsess with the song then got bored with it after a week or so :D

Hi there, well now i prefer to download songs in limewire also its free and i can put it in my ipod. I need to save money now so i dont buy albums more often, if i can get it or download it through internet i rather get it here, itrs free and i can manage my songs in one folder. Keep on mylotting.

Same, but I do both. I only put purchased song on my Ipod touch because of the album cover (artwork), though I know I can do it manually with download songs. I don't know it's just I think it's best to buy songs rather than downloading :D It can be costly too, but I only choose the ones that it's worth buying.

I usually download on limewire, I've never even bought a single CD in my whole life other than from a junk sale, and only because I was bored. The CD's were not my kind so I no longer have them in my possession. Music lovers who purchase everything often have empty pockets, because music cds and other memorbilia adds up.

I usually download albums to sample them. However, I always buy hard copies because I like collecting stuff. Especially if its an artist I really like and they're releasing stuff on vinyl, I'll definitely pick one up. :-)
