I think people that love music, and not just think of it as a background atmosphere, buys more albums.
A lot of people I know just about listens to anything just to have some background music, training music etc. These people rarely or never buys an album, because it's just not important to them. Understandable in a way, but still frustrating for the artists. I love music, and I love a bunch of different styles, so I buy too many albums. I'm not sure where to put them anymore I don't think this is a phenomenon that only applies to fans of heavier genres, but for people who love music with a passion no matter what style. I usually buy my albums in a local recordstore, or at a music convention. If I order online I usually buy from cdon.com and play.com |

I love the physical cd. It's true what you say about heavier stuff but I know people that like classic rock music and also enjoys buying the original Cd of bands like Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Hendrix, and so...
I personally have the problem that I like the artwork but I always listen to music from my computer or ipod so physical cds aren't comfortable to me. So I have that duality, I like physical cds but I don't really use them... -------------------- My lessons

I personally have the problem that I like the artwork but I always listen to music from my computer or ipod so physical cds aren't comfortable to me. So I have that duality, I like physical cds but I don't really use them... I totally agree! I prefere to actually buy a physical cd, but generally speaking I burn the CD to my Ipod and never pick it up again, since I can play the Ipod virtually anywhere, in the car, through my home stero and don't really need the CD. So I'm kinda stuck between liking to actually buy physical cds and not really needing to use them. Regarding what Ben said about where to go to buy CDs, I also go to Amazon.com. For starters, I can order other stuff as well, such as TV show DVDs and books. Secondly, where I live if you do not like listening to country music or Justin Beiber you are out of luck! Amazon has so much more variety than my local stores, and generally the price is a little better as well. -------------------- My Sound Cloud Profile: http://soundcloud.com/casinostrat

Myself I don't put too much importance in the actual disc. I used to but nowadays I've lost that appeal to have a physical thing with me while I listen, but I get what you say, it does get you inside the music a bit more,

About 40% of my CD's ship from overseas and take up to 30-45 days And I love the CD, its like triple the quality of any download source. I can stick an iPod into my computer or car stereo, and it will sound good, very good if its a paid for song. But, If I throw a CD in there - I can feel it, and I need that. I want to feel the song hit my chest, give me goosebumps, I want the actual physical effects of it as well. Nothing beats a CD right now, maybe I am being an audiophile of sorts, but I just have to have the highest quality songs possibles. Downloads just dont cut it. I understand and feel what you mean man. -------------------- My lessons
