I download mostly as a shopping guide. If I hear a song on the radio that I kind of like, I might find out the album, check the track list, download three or four songs and see whether I like them. If so, I'll buy the CD. It's the best way to shop because then I figure if I like three or four songs, it's worth getting the studio CD. Plus, I like that some of them have DVD stuff and videos and bonus interviews and the like.
I also think the economy and the high prices of some of the CDs are contributing to the slumping music sales. 20 bucks is a lot for a CD that cost them maybe a tenth of that to produce...
Oh, by the way, Lars will never see another dime from me....I think Mullet mentioned that Lars is, um, a fuggin' Nazi, yes?
I thought so.
