When you decide to buy a new album how do you get it? Do you get a cd or download it on the web?

Download for sure. I have not went to a store to buy a cd for years. I will buy music online that way I can buy the songs I want and not spend extra money on the songs I don't want.

For the last two or three years, I have downloaded the music and put it on my own CD. Usually, once a year, I will pick out about ten or fifteen songs that I want to keep and put them on a CD. If I didn't have my own computer, I probably would buy the CD.

I download it from the web. If it is so hard to find I can't download it, then I will look at an online store to purchase a cd to send to me. But that is rare.

I buy my music in the form of CD's. I would rather be able to enjoy opening the CD case instead of just waiting for something to finish downloading, and plus I think it shows more dedication to the artist when you go out and buy the CD. but then again that is just my opinion.

Many of the songs that I have have been downloaded, although there are times that I will buy a cd that I really enjoy off of ebay.

The only time I will download music is when I am sure I really just want one or two tracs. otherwise I will get the entire Cd from a store. or I'll order the CD online rather.

the last time i bought an original cd was way back in 2004, it was the "guilty" album of my fave boy band blue, since im also after the cd booklet and the bonus vcd, i used to buys lots of cds especially if i like the artist as well or if i find it on sale, LOL but now i just download them and play the songs on my ipod. i might consider buying one again if i "succumb" to being a huge fan of a certain artist.

nine times out of ten,i just go buy it. i like download,but you don't always get the cover art that way.sometimes it ends up in the cheap bin at walmart,so it's not that bad to just buy that way.

I first listen to the album on deezer and then i buy it. I like to have CDs because it's much more comfortable and you can put your songs on your computer too... If you buy music on iTunes and then loose your iPod, well you loose everything :) But I really like CDs, I like the design of them and I have a big thing (don't know how to call it in english...) to keep all my CDs. good day ! httpx

I always buy CD's but i tend to buy them second hand and I'm happy to wait until the price is low as I tend to like music thats been around for a while and have little time for a lot of modern music.

I use to by CD's but really only do that now for my girls. For me I just download select songs. It is really hard to find an entire CD that has all good songs on it, unless it is a greatest hits CD.
