    On the other hand, I suspect a large percentage illegal downloads are for music no one would bother to buy in the first place, but since it is free why not get it. I know that was the way it was for me with Napster. I heard lots of songs I would have never bought.

    With Amazon, iTunes, etc. the record companies are making money without the overhead of manufacturing disks, packaging, shipping, etc. So, while perhaps the sales of physical media is decreasing, music sales are most likely increasing.

    I think a lot of illegal downloading is still done for songs that have not been released yet or from people who just do not want to spend a dime.

    As for those buying music offline they still are missing one crucial part, compression that they are getting with the music they buy. Honestly if itunes would start providing lossless music to download I MIGHT just download them but on the other hand I still like having my cd's

    You should add downloading to the poll.

    You MUST add downloading (in some form) to the poll to get a true feel. I haven't purchased an actual CD (jewel case etc) in quite some time.

    The only time I buy one...is if I'm on the road or at work...see one that looks interesting for the ride home...and impulse buy. Other than that...never.

    I just fill up hard drive after hard drive of live, legal, lossless music. All free...all sanctioned by the bands...all lossless. I'm starting on my 2nd 1TB external at the moment

    The question does not pertain to downloading. I am just wanting to know about people who buy cd's.

    1-2. There's an FYE about a mile away and people are dumping cds left and right these days. Since it's the only remaining used shop around here, I try to hit it up once a week or so and usually come home with a couple of cds; sometimes more and sometimes I leave empty handed.
