I buy as many cds as (and probably more than) I can afford. i'll buy
vinyl if I have no other choice, but i've yet to purchase any mp3s. I
probably will eventually if it's my only option. like some of the
others, I like having something tangible for my money. I find that when
I download music from netlabels and the like, it ends up collecting
digital dust in a folder I have tagged for exploring at a later date. I
have 30-some releases archived in my downloads folder as I type this,
and the thought of "having" to eventually listen to them all gives me a
headache. yet the cds and cdrs I just got in the mail find their way
right into my cd player...must be the pretty cover artwork.
incidentally, i've purchased some rednetic releases through the n5md
mailorder. they've done a pretty good job of bringing similar labels
together and give me a one-stop place domestically(US) where I can pick
up a bunch of stuff that would probably cost me twice as much chasing
them down from their overseas label mailorders.

Hi
Who still buys CDs? We are a small label that still sell CDs, but we
are
also starting up paid for mp3 downloads. I have been thinking for a
while
that the future will be limited vinyl and digital downloads for labels
such
as us and CDs will disappear all together.
We currently give away free mp3s as a netlabel, as i have always had the
opinion that the quality isnt as good. I would be interested in peoples
thoughts.
