How do you get your music?

About 90% of my music come from Waffles, 5% from What.cd and then probably another 5% from random blogs and stuff. I'll only buy a CD if I really really like it.

That's quite an accomplishment. Honestly.

I'd say my ratio of legally to illegally download music is about 1:30.

I know. I used to have 80GB of music then when I got my ipod which is only 30GB I deleted everything and started from scratch.

I use iTunes and CDs.

Picked out an iPod Nano 8gb for Christmas so I have a bunch of family members getting me itunes cards and I just bought All American Rejects new cd, Fall Out Boy's new cd, and Kanye West's new cd. Pretty good season for music.

Sorry guys, but I do things the legit way. No illegal activities for me. It's not worth it anyways. Yeah, if you're low on the cash flow it could be nice to not have to spend money, but it doesn't give me enough satisfaction. I usually only use iTunes, not CDs. Mainly because some albums, I only like a couple songs, not the whole thing.

I don't really know why I buy CDs still. I get them home, rip them to itunes and then they gather dust. I guess I just like having a backup copy of what I've bought.

Yeah this, I find only waffles and what.cd rip correctly. Downloading from everywhere else is dodgy.

I'm old-school, I still buy CDs. I personally just like having a hard copy of my music, and I like using it on my old stereo systems and my car's system.

I leaning towards a zune pass....If my little sister get a zune that almost steals the deal...Some songs just are to hard to download....Plus the thing almost pays for it self...They let you keep 10 songs pre month so it makes it only 5 bucks... I wish it supported tv and movies tho... I glad play 25 bucks a month for that..(If there was a way to play on my ps3...Hell I might even buy a arcade for that feature alone..) I whold still use torrent for those advance albums that get leaked..

Right now I have almost 12000 songs and about 5 of them are legal... 3 of them being Free itunes downloads and 2 songs from a tv soundtrack only on Itunes...THo I removed the DRM so I think that makes them ilegal in Apple eyes but w/e

My past 80 gb where from torrents and all my new songs where from blogs that used host file sites like rapidshare...It a really good way to discover music...

Torrents, because I'm a dirty fucking pirate...

Seriously, I was at Barnes and Noble yesterday, and the CDs there were $18. Um, wut?

Physical CD should be no more than $10, ever... MP3 downloads never more than $4-$5... If either was true, I'd buy everything, but it's not, so I steal.

$10 is not reasonale for a download, and $18 isn't for a physical copy, unless that shit came with some Vinyl or something...

I have every kill Hannah album except their first CD (Here Are the Young Moderns) and because it's a Self-Released CD from a decade ago. I can only find one person selling it and he or she wants damn near 300 dollars for it.

I never heard it and not even sure I'll like it. usually I'll pay for the CD from bands or artists I like, but I am not paying that much for a CD I never heard.

Why? What's wrong with it?

As far back as I can remember, CD's were always about $20. Sometimes a little more, and for the older ones usually less

Just about every CD I ever brought was 4-12 dollars. except for that one $24 Japanese death metal CD I brought cause i liked the cover and assumed I'd like the CD. regretfully it was terrible.

Can you find it online? A quick search on waffles brings up the album in 320 CBR if you want to hear it.
