Do you buy CD's?

Do you buy CD's. I don't. I do not downloaded music either.

I found a another outlet:

Listen to Net Radio for free

Look a BET to listen music

Look at MTV to listen music

Look at VH1 to listen to music

Old fashion listen to regular radio

This way I won't have worry about RIAA coming after me.

What's is other outlets that have found without buying CD's.

I buy plenty of CDs & I fully utilize my right as a CD owner to make back up copies via mp3s & CD burner. I also fully support file sharing & most of the bands I listen to do as well.

Net Radio has been touch & go for me. It's good, but stations die off quickly & the sound quality varies.

I don't watch BET for music because the state of hip-hop isn't great lately & save a few artists like Outkast, I tend to skip it.

MTV hardly even ever plays music anymore & all they ever seem to play is the same 30 lousy videos over & over...except when they want to beat you overthe head with a 48 hour Real World marathon.

VH1 has become Diet MTV & the only things I'll really watch on it is I Love The 80s & shows of that ilk.

Regular radio has pretty much the same problem as MTV, the same lousy 30 songs played over & over. It seems like most DJs forget that there are some good songs that didn't just come out a few weeks ago.

The RIAA is...well, let's just say that my opinion of them is about the same as my feelings on Eisner (& I thought Roy pulled some punches on the guy).


Here's how I experience new music (meaning new to me, not necessarily fresh out of the factory):
-I check out the record labels of bands I like. They tend to sign bands of a similar genre or sound & they're usually more than eager to get new listeners by way of free mp3s, compilation CDs, etc.

-CD liner notes. Most bands will thank other bands they've played with or like.

-Listening to radio shows that have new & different music.

-Check out some non-corporate music stores, or at least some that aren't major stores that also carry CDs

Hi, Jeff!!!!!!!!! GREAT to see you!!!

I buy CDs...AND tapes! The tape player/recorder on my CD stereo no longer records. It just EATS my tapes! So for music I REALLY like, I buy CD for home and tape for the van.

I have begun to buy CERTAIN cd's again. I usually only buy Greatest Hits Albums since I know I like the majority of the songs on there. Sheryl Crow has a great one out right now by the way.

But if I am just in my room and I want to hear something, I'll put on MTV2 or I'll just have those music channels that comes with Directv.
