I have bought maybe 4 or 5 cd's in the past 5 years.  Haven't bought a cd since the mac mall/mac dre collabo album dropped, and I only bought that because I was bored on my lunch break.  I really don't see any reason to buy a cd anymore, especially with being able to get music for free so easily.  I just wish other things were so easily illegally obtainable for free.

At one point I would buy a minimum of about 5 CDS a week, Now my music taste is different,
And I think the quality of music has declined abit. So far I have bought about 4 albums this year.

Post by: T-Dogg on September 07, 2008, 01:09:29 PM
Sure, I buy CD's. If there's an album I want, I'll buy it. On a very rare occasion, when I'm on the fence about getting something, I'll download something first and skim through it to check it out first. But usually I just go by the reception and feedback an album's got and by what material I can legally check out before hand, like singles on so forth.
Title: Re: WHO IS BUYING CD'S STILL?
Post by: Birdie on September 07, 2008, 01:13:50 PM
I still buy CDs and LPs. I spend a lot of money in it. Classics, rare shit and upcoming material, that's what I buy.

I bought around 85 CDs/LPs since March 2007. I can list it, have every record written down in PC. A lot of rare stuff. Last thing what I bought was:

Atmosphere - When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold (Limited Yellow Vinyl 2LP)

... around two weeks ago.

Messy Marv - Cake & Ice Cream

This any good?

I didn't receive the CD yet. But I've skipped the cd once as mp3 (where some tracks have bad sound quality) and I gotte say it's better than "What You Know About Me" and his last "Draped Up N Chipped Out" record.

Post by: Invincible on September 07, 2008, 06:41:09 PM
The only albums i've bought released this year are Ego Trippin' and Carter III. I still want to buy these cds that were released this year:

Bun B - II Tril
Reks - Grey Hairs
GZA - Pro Tools
The Game - L.A.X.
Ice Cube - Raw Footage
Nas - Untitled
Pete Rock - NYs Finest
Young Jeezy - The Recession

Its just a question of being able to find some of them. Can't find Reks over here in the UK. Most the time I buy my cds on ebay as i don't really want to pay full price for a cd anymore.

I support real artist. I support those with quality. Period.

Like i just bought Cube, Nas and Games records.
Title: Re: WHO IS BUYING CD'S STILL?
Post by: Allgold on September 07, 2008, 07:32:56 PM
I buy cds because I lke to have the cases and artwork, and the physical cd itself. Then I burn it to my itunes library and my iPod, and I'll never listen to the actual cd since all my stereo setups (including my big set-up) all have docking stations plugged into them where I can play the music. I probably buy 5-10 cds a month, thought I am slowing down now because I pretty much have every cd that I want, and there really isn't that much music coming out.... I bought Raw Footage, Lax, II Trill, I haven't counted how many cds that own, but a couple years ago it was more than 775, so I'm guessing I gotta be up near 1,000 or over.

But I was buying cds looooong before torrents and the internet. I can remember walking to the small cd shop on Saturdays and having the guy hand me a stack of cds that were coming out the next Tuesday. I remember buying "Doggstyle" "All Eyes On Me" "Dogg Food" "On Top of the World" and many, many others the day that they came out. I spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars a that shop. I also buy a lot of used cds on Amazon & e-bay. 

And will be buying "Landing Gear" the day it comes out.

Is it just me, or do the actual albums sound WAY better than downloaded versions? They seem to be mixed down better and made for physical mediums like car and home stereo systems. One more reason to pick up the hard copy.
