But I've never been one for buying music period. Even before the days of file sharing.

In fact after file sharing began I started to buy more music.
I'd find a single that would remind me of an album I used to listen to all the time and go out and buy it.

The simple fact is if I could pay a small price for the songs I liked and that's all I had tp pay for I'd do it.

There used to be a service at the music stores back in the late 80's early 90's where you could listen to samples of singles, fill out a form and they'd make you a compilation tape for about $1.00 per song.

I used to make tapes all the time. If they did that now, I'd do the same thing.

People need to quit trying to figure out how to stop these people, and figure out a solution to INCLUDE these people in their services.
i'd probably pay a flat monthly service fee to download music, that would rock. especially if the music files were guaranteed to be of a certain quality.

but personally, i like my cds. and i like the fact i can rip them into a much better and higher quality than kazaa will ever deliver them as.

as much as people like to complain about it, most of the time mp3's really aren't up to the quality of a cd.

and in the future, if the recording industry goes to dvds (which i'm betting is an inevitability), the sound quality will improve that much more, and even move towards 4-channel music.

mp3's can't do that yet
