I wonder how long this thread will be up before a mod comes along.....

MadYaker

Depends. If its some new relatively unknown band I will buy their stuff to support them, but if its some well established bands who are already minted I will just steal it from the interwebs.

I havent paid for music in years, its just so easy to find online for free.

Sky King

I listen free on youtube and if I like the music enough to want to have it on my phone / in the car I will pay for their music.

I could download it for free easily but it's not even the value of two pints for hours of entertainment.

I've an 8-track cartridge tape in the car, anyway of using this 'frostwire' thing to download to that, not very tech savvy I'm afraid.

Seeing as how itunes and the likes are still making money. Alot of people out there legally buying music.

Problem is, i'm sick to death of hearing liars say they do, when they really dont :rolleyes: - you know the type. guys who say "I download to try, like a demo" or what not :pac:

I pay for some stuff: mainly stuff I want to have an artifact of.

I spent years and years having to fork out (often on import) for entire albums and compilations just to get single tune that I liked so I've earned the right to download a little for free.

The old model of music consumption is gone forever and will never be back. Streaming is probably the way forward with some kind of nominal fee. Only people of my generation - and a minute proportion of generations thereafter - have a emotional attachment to physical music artifacts.

Plus if less artists make music, what of it? There has been more music made already (and easily accessible) than most of us can ever hope to plough through properly .

I just stream everything now and create playlists on youtube/vevo or whatever else on my phone. Handiest.

That would be reinforcing laziness. It's not difficult. No tricks involved. Best advice would be to figure it out. Hint: check the menu bar.

You down 'own' the music you download from Apple, just ask Bruce Willis.

If I can't find a song/album I am looking for on line I will buy off itunes. Same if the quality of the on line version is poor.

My bother however has thousands of songs on his ipod and has purchased them all from itunes :rolleyes:

I dont know how the nano works as I dont have one. I have an ipod touch and I have an even older ipod, the type with the rotational control. I cant even remember what its called its been that long since its been out of the drawer, maybe an ipod mini....

All Ive been doing is downloading whatever music tracks I want from ANYWHERE, then simply dragging them into itunes and it converts the songs into the format the ipod wants and it plays. I dont have to do anything at all, itunes does it all for me.

I dont like itunes actually. In fact, sometimes I hate it. There are probably some settings that can be changed, but at the time, I found it really difficult to have two ipods using the same computer. Kept trying to synch playlists with the wrong ipod etc. Id much rather have a simple drag and drop system, like the folders in windows!

If you download FLAC versions of music, the quality will be exceptional. When searching just add "FLAC" to the album title, or choose it in the list of results.
