Do you download?

agreed

A lot of bands get more money from merchandise stuff like t-shirts than CDs.

I hardly download, but when I do I use Limewire, soulseek isn't very good for dial up users apparently. Tried it but didn't do much.

I mostly download trailer music and hard to find music. But I can't really be arsed to download since it takes so long on dial up connections.

Or if there is one song I like from a band I will download it, not wasting money on the whole album.

I use Winmx it's got no spyware which is great.

i tried Soulseek but as said before, dial up = shit download time with soul seek. might give limewire a try, and Kazaas ****ed now people have filled it with viruses.
and in Aus its like $30 for a cd which makes it even more ****ed

I use ARES !!! and I am proud of it!!

i use to use Kazaa but it really screws up your computer even though it has more stuff... o well

I normally just download TV shows and music videos and stuff you cant normally buy or see.

Ares is pretty cool! I still buy CDs - ones that I will listen to over and over

dont sue me--I cant afford it

I download then if i like the band i buy the album but if its shit i delete it

I used to buy CD's and had quite an impressive collection but then I got them all stolen from me so I guess you could say I lost my apatite for buying CD's. Now I have about 6k songs on my PC but I'm not bothered cause I bought most CD's of bands I like and I don't see the point in buying them again. Kazaa and e-mule would be my preferred downloading programs, with e-mule you can download full albums easily which is a pretty attractive quality if you ask me.

I thought Ares could take control of your computer?

Get at disk from your library... burn a copy...
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

I like having the artwork and case etc to look at too. I like owning the album so I'll buy it if I like the band ENOUGH to buy it.

The Yeah Yeah Yeah's album, "Fever To Tell", for example. I like it but not enough to buy it so I downloaded it. "eMOTIVe" by A Perfect Circle I downloaded and liked, saw it for very cheap anyway so I bought it.

i download like 3 songs a month lol, thats pushing it! i usually only download songs of websites that say "have this free mp3", but if i wanna try out a new band, i use bearshare.

but i dont download often, no

I do the library thing lol.

I usually use kazaa lite with a nortons 2005 firewall for backup, and not one virus in 2 years, however i do use Ares

I use Slsk for full albums, ares when i'm looking for a specific song.

I use soulseek...what I'll usually do is download a few songs from an artist to see if I like them, and then if I do I'll go out and buy the CD.
