Do you still buy CDs?
 
With the Ipod and a million other mp3 players on the market, are buying CDs considered old fashioned?

polish_aristocrat 08-02-2005 03:08 PM

sometimes i buy a CD, maybe like 4 per year though

Slacker 08-02-2005 03:44 PM

I have not bought one in like 2 years or so
I mainly listen to music when I am on the computer so I download songs off of iTunes.
I miss buying CDs though I have a couple hundred or so, but its just do damn easy to download it and go.

mardigras 08-02-2005 04:50 PM

There are so few artists that would put out a CD with more than 1 song on them that I would like and they haven't put out any new CDs for a while. I have the computer running into my stereo so when I'm working I just do all my music listening here. I'm not in the car much, so I just listen to talk radio, especially since one of our right-wing talk stations switched over to Air America :thumbsup

Hollywood Horwitz 08-02-2005 04:52 PM

sniperwolf 08-02-2005 04:53 PM

Dalai lama 08-02-2005 04:54 PM

SetTheWorldonFire 08-02-2005 04:55 PM

I like to see the cover and read the credits so yes I still do :thumbsup

Deepai 08-02-2005 04:55 PM

I support small artists, and will buy most CD's unless its an artist who could give a fuck about the 13 bucks I'm dropping on thier disc. If I burn a cd from someone and I enjoy it, I'll always go out and buy it, any other way would be stealing.

QuaWee 08-02-2005 04:56 PM

I only buy cds from independent artists and I dont use Itune type services. The last mainstream cd I bought was Tupac - All Eyez on Me

Pete-KT 08-02-2005 04:57 PM

I buy cd's if atleast half the cd is good if only one song is good then no i dont buy it

xxxice 08-02-2005 04:59 PM

no :thumbsup

jact 08-02-2005 05:01 PM

I don't do the MP3 thing, I used to, many years ago before they were popular (We're talking like, the months following mpeg layer 3 came out and it was underground pirate sites, etc.. Pre-napster).

The last CD I bought was NiN's latest, but yeah, I still buy CDs.

tristan_D 08-02-2005 05:03 PM

I still buy CDs but not that often as before. iPod is too expensive for me so I just enjoy mp3s

Farang 08-02-2005 05:04 PM

yes, sometimes...

nico-t 08-02-2005 05:05 PM

only for presents. I download all my own shit.

Nobody Specific 08-02-2005 05:13 PM

Not anymore. For the past few months I've been using the Yahoo Unlimited music service, $60 a year for all the music you want. And I just got a 30GB dell dj mp3 player that plays the subscription mp3's. I love it.

VicD 08-02-2005 05:15 PM

budz 08-02-2005 05:16 PM

Got a hundred blank CDs at Office Depot when they were on sale a couple weeks ago. Will probably not use them up in a couple years, maybe more :upsidedow
Got a hundred blank DVDs at the same time (great special, $28 bucks:)), those will last me a month or so :thumbsup

same here....

I buy every CD that I love, especially if I can grab the CD at the concert...that way most of the $ goes to the band...(I also buy a lot of merch...shirts etc...)

Robx 08-02-2005 06:41 PM

I buy CD's more as an impulse sort of buy. I like wandering around music stores, browsing and listening. Sometimes, I buy what is merchandised well or really stands out.

I've often thought that a great way to sell CD's in music stores would be to have a jukebox sort of thing where you could scan a CD in, pick a few songs and buy a compilation CD. However, that would be almost impossible with the current music biz.

The last time that I spent $20 on a CD rather then downloading music (p2p or buck a song), it was for a full live concert that I saw. The band has all of their live performances online for sale a couple of days after the concert.

reed_4 08-02-2005 07:34 PM

I buy CD's for my collection. mostly i buy hit songs of the 80's.

nikki99 08-02-2005 07:48 PM

I do buy cd´s, are more romantic

Laurie 08-02-2005 08:17 PM

I mainly use iTunes, but I occasionally have to buy a cd if I can't find what I am looking for there.

PixeLs 08-02-2005 09:16 PM

I don't have an Ipod yet, but I seldom buy CDs nowadays. I usually download songs on my pc.

webcrawler 08-02-2005 09:19 PM

I've never bought a cd for years now. I won;t spend much on a few tracks I'd like.

JuiceMonkey 08-02-2005 10:39 PM

Yeah
I only buy them for shit bands where my sale will mean another mcdonalds meal for them.

Shoplifter 08-02-2005 10:59 PM

I buy lots of CD's and SACD's .... If you can't tell the difference in sound quality between mp3 encoded files and CD's on a good hi fi you have cloth ears.

Holly 08-02-2005 11:03 PM

Occasionally. I mainly download, though.

nofx 08-02-2005 11:05 PM
