If you like a song...

[Gamah]

Pay for it...CD's being to expensive used to be the excuse now with sites like Itunes and more speicalised download sites selling songs for like £0.79 you have no excuse.

To this end I have dedicated my sig to this cause!

Songs for 79p, so roughly £9 for an album is still a feking rip off, 50% more on average than the Americans pay.

Albums are probably cheaper? I don't know I don't bother with popshit sites

 

[DocWolfe]

Know any where, where you can download whole albums?

 

[Overdriven]

Nah; for 2 tacks on all the new CDs I'd rather not. If people made a CD with all good tracks, perhaps.



You get hit by the law bat?


EDIT: Gamah, £2 a track, 10 tracks = £20... rofl... CDs with 11 tracks are £9.99

£2/track is for speicalised underground dance music? not for your britney spears collection. £2 for a 320k/s track is well worth it? are you like on £3/hour where you work?

sure its cheap. But buying from allofmp3 wont give the artist a penny. They are getting closed all over the world as its just a russian pirate company earning easy money. Its illegal to buy from them in Denmark.

Russian mafia company bud, not a single penny goes to the recording companies or artists.

indeed i switched from vinyl to CDJ's a while back, £8/vinyl + can get mp3/cds soooo much quicker. PLaying some track just released on vinyl that some other dj has been playing for months.

last week burnt to mp3 from vinyl todd terrys remix of "can i feel it" by CLS ( yes im old school as ive said )..guess with your setup id still be screwed - or can u mix mp3s properly on it too ?

 

[Ingafgrinn Macabre]

Totally depends on what it is... I am not gonna pay 80 cents, or even 50 cents for a crappy 256kb mp3, and I'm certainly not gonna pay for that DRM-"enriched" shit most companies offer.
If I think it's worthwhile paying for I want CD (or vinyl) quality, and so I buy the CD itself. But then again, I don't buy pop music. If I want to listen to that I'll turn on the radio.

[EDIT]
I also don't think that the work those pop-musicians do should earn them millions and millions of dollars.... sure, they make a decent song but it's not that much of an achievement. making a bit more than the average person? sure, but how much those guys make is just unreasonable.

Also, nice discussion about this all (well, mostly about DRM) here:

i pay to download from a news group, why would i want to pay per song ^^

 

[Raven]

i dont usually pay simplly because the prices are extortion, 79p a song? lol. though i was forced to use itunes the other day because i couldnt find the album anywhere else

 

[- English -]

i find nzb o matic quite decent, but not all are on

 

[Gamah]

Ok let me make it clear, I don't care about "pop" artists, rip thier shit mass produced drivil off all you want. But if you claim to be dedicated to a scene, then dont spend anything to support it your a shit fucking hippocrite.

 

[Ingafgrinn Macabre]

wtf :/

the ad under this thread...

What the fuck has god got to do with this :/
Looks like google ad fck'd up a bit there :/

(translation on the ad:
God Exists, and you? - Iseekgod.nl

I mean, for christ sake, do they now have to resort to advertisement to draw people to "their holy cause"? Leave me be, I don't need saving tyvm.

Guess my "Shit fucking hippocrite" term triggered the religion ads

 

[Ingafgrinn Macabre]

nah, I think those triggered the current ads:

"Stop Lying" [YourBadHabits.com]
"Lie Detector Tests" [Guyheseltine.co.uk]
"Behavior Analysis" [rovertech.com]

cos that ad was there before your post before me

 

[Raven]

why do you feel the need to ram your shitty pop music (yes...dance music is pretty much just happy clappy pop these days) down our throats? i couldnt care less if you buy your MP3s from some web site. when i used to listen to it it only came on vinyl or live recorded tapes from raves. these days i download most of my music from torrents, unless its an artist that i am particularly fond of, in which case i will buy the CD from play.com.
