My own point of view:
I don't download much music, but only when a good new album get's released,
I'll download it, and test it, if I find it quality music, not just 1 song but the album,
I'll most certainly will buy it.
The only artist with which I'll buy the album without downloading is will smith.
Even if it's not good, it's something personal haha.
A couple years ago, I'd used to spent all my money on cd's,
do you know how frustrating it is to spend 20 euro's on a album
that's hyped and has the worst songs on it ?
I payed a lot of euro's to albums, that really sucked, in a big way.
My point is, you need to see it, in this case of music, hear it,
to know sure it's what you want.
So our music store, now has the option to listen to a whole album in the store,
and make your mind before you buy it, this is a great way for me.
When I went to buy lost & found for the 2nd time, I wanted to check the albums of
J-lo rebirth and Mimi's emancipation of mariah, so the owner of the store set it up for me and I listened to all of the songs on the album, I ditched mariah's latest one, and bought J-Lo's Rebirth, yes yes I know i know , still I liked the album :angel:
Downloading is a delicate situation, as you never can know for sure,
if the downloader actually just downloads without buying.
I wouldn't be mad if people downloaded mariah carey's album and not buy it,
but I would be mad if they download will's music and not buy it
