What would you prefer....buying CD/DVD or downloading it for free????

I'm glad others out there feel the same way I do about buying the artist's music CDs instead of downloading them! The thing about music these days is that once an artist comes out with a new single, radio stations play them again, again, and again until you seriously want to change the station. To have the artists CD is another way to appreciate the artist for why they are musicians. What I mean is that by hearing more than just their popular songs, the listener gets a better interpretation of the artist's scope of material instead of hearing a hit track. That to me is the most important, and if not valued reason I listen to music. We are all capable of personal expression, so why not a musician, right? Most of the time, if I'm buying a CD, I usually enjoy all of the material because music to me is just about addictive as caffeine. In fact, I think that having so many CDs shows my love for music, and also the vast landscape of artists that I have explored adorned upon my multimedia shelves. Also, having CDs is a lot less infuriating than that of an Ipod or those other portable music players. Not that I hate those portable music players, it is just a slight annoyance when you have to transfer all that music to the player, and then listen to the music. Or in the long run, having to store the music on your computer. Everyone out there with Ipods, enjoy them thoroughly, please. I'll stick with my CDs in order to feed my music addiction. :D

Purchasing the original means helping the music industry grow and that is the right way but personally I usually download things online because it is more convenient and saves me money. The economy is at its worst so I cant afford of buying something if I know there are ways to get it for free. I'm trying to make both ends meet so I will still download things unless the internet starts to stop and ban downloading.

Hmmm, I download from internet often, but I think that an artist do hard work to make a album, and it hostile him. So we must purchased cd - dvd.

Hi Harpreet, I would go for DVD as quality in online movies are not as good and also I feel it as unethical. So, A dvd is far more better for me rather an online illegal download..

Hi there. I really like music. Some times I buy a music CD and and some times I try to download it for free from the internet, but I prefer to download the music from the internet, because it is free, easy and fast not like when I buy a CD. I need to go around my city to find the CD or DVD that I want to buy. Happy myLotting..!!

I think nothing can be compared to a nice, shiny cd collection in display. I don't own much cds, I love music but not that much, but this is the same case of dvds or books. I love them physically, u know. Love to touch them, smell them, take care of them. It makes the experience richer when you can touch it and feel it's material, and not just listen to the music or watching the movie. It's all about the experience.
