I'm 17 years old and whenever I want to have a record, I go ahead and fucking buy it. I just want to support my favorite artists for what they are, for what their music is doing for me and for the hard work of writing and recording the songs. Downloading it on some illegal websites is nothing but stealing the music from the artists. In addition to that, I love to have a CD in my hands and read the lyrics while listening to the whole thing, it's something special, something that got lost nowadays and it's pretty sad.

I still purchase music physically, many kids at my school are like "You still buy CDs/records?!" and I tell them yes. With the physical album, you get the album, artwork, lyrics and all that good stuff. Sadly, many record stores are closing left and right, I'm lucky I live in a large city, so there are music stores near me. I never shop at Wal-Mart for anything, let alone music. Besides, their music selection is terrible and the albums are usually censored. I will admit that I do download from time to time and that's because some of the albums I want are hard to find physically and they can be very expensive. As of today, I have over 100 physical albums, both CD and vinyl and that will continue to grow.

Ive purchased LPs, 7 inches / 45's in Rock, Metal, Rap / Hip Hop, Experimental, Electronic, Punk/ Hardcore, Indie / Indie Pop, Shoegaze, Emo, Noise etc. I love going to my local shop ! I also check online if there are any other record stores near me while I'm out in a different location, I visit many of these different record stores because you never know what records you can potentially come home with. I strongly believe that purchasing music / owning a physical copy of an album will never get old to people like me.

I will always support and buy physical copies, I prefer being able to hold and look at the music with my own hands and eyes as well as be able to appreciate the full set of artwork on an album in the booklet and all over (album artwork is vital in my opinion) also it's known that music on a cd is of a higher quality than downloads, so why settle for less with a purchase off iTunes or whatever. There's something so very satisfying about opening a brand new cd case to see the inside, take out the disc and put it in a player than just click a button to play music you don't physically own yourself

I think the only reasons why I purchase physical CDs is not because I want to help support a band.

Also I love collecting CDs of bands I love, especially the ones in which their entire albums are fucking enjoyable.

I once noticed that the costumers started to stay away from the local Walmart ( there was a lack of shoppers) .. this is the reason people started to avoid the store .... Walmart still imports their clothing items from Fucking China !.. as for the Cd/DVD selection it's terrible ! When there was a record store In my hometown... I always used to talk with the employees.. the only reason for the only record store that was ..well ,maybe a mile &1/2 away from where I lived ... went nto bankruptcy.. was that the recording industry jacking the price on Cd up so high that noone could buy it !.. The worst example of this shameful practice was I went to coconuts records... and automatically walked into the double cd packages aisle... Looked at a a rolling stones cd ( it was hot rocks,,i had to replace it for some reason) But,when I saw the sticker on the cd package.. ( the price was $39.99... plus tax which would've been close to $45.00 ) I put it back into the display & walked out of the store..!

The equivalent of downloading 2-3 decades ago was taping off of the radio. But there was a difference. We actually desired and wanted to get the physical legal cd, single, or record. Today many don't know what it means to buy music. Yes it is tasteless and it's theft that hurts artists. I was just talking today about the failure of Tower records. I think they failed because they redirected customers for used music that was just out of print. Yes, the may be able to find it used at a specialty store but Tower redirected customers to another record stores. At various points, they didn't sell 33's or 45's and some stuff you couldn't get on cd at various points. My style of music died back in 1993 when clear channel bought every media outlet up. They thought that hip hop soul was the only thing that would sell in mass. Back in the 70-early 90's soul artists would try different styles. I remember Natalie Cole and the Pointer Sisters dabbling in country or Chaka Khan including a few jazz cuts on her full-lengths. You mentioned TLC. They couldn't sing yet were the Lady GaGa's of the day. TLC created songs in one style. Instead of every artist taking a shot at a style which was done in prior attempts in the genres of disco and New Jack swing, older artists were not signed. Older artists or those who catered to the soul market were ignored practically overnight. In 1992, several artists had released albums with swingbeat, house, adult contemporary, ballads, and hip hop soul all on the same set. Styles did change; sales in 1992 were poor considering we were in a recession after the first Gulf War and labels were still asking $16 for a disc. Uptempos were done; ballads were gone; and all we had was hip hop related garbage.

An vital part of hard copies is their packaging. To me, packaging contributes greatly to a sense of "album-ness" with recorded music. I value this aspect a great deal, and it seems that with hard-drive culture, "album-ness" is dying out. That means we're reverting to the 1950s, when songs ruled. And while I don't buy albums ONLY for the packaging, I still continue to spend money on CDs, CD box sets and vinyl that have extensive quality packaging and sundry extras (many of which aren't online).

The FYE in my area is being overrun with tshirts, posters and whatever trends will be dead in a week. Kinda sad for the music lovers, because you can literally watch the music stores die, or get morphed into Hot Topic

i guess im pretty lucky, the record store i go to has a great selection of records/cds the metal section is the biggest in the store, youll find anything from popular bands such as maiden to the relatively obscure such as witchfinder general if you ask, theyll order in a cd for you to pick up, i knew that it was bad, but after seeing some comments, i feel really lucky that i do have that connection and friendship with the employees, whom have great knowledge.

I will admit that I do pirate a lot of albums, but I make sure not to pirate anything 2010-now so I'm not cheating the artists out of too much money, being a musician myself. I plan to buy all the albums I pirate on vynal or cd some time in the future when I earn enough money to do so. I'm already in the process of buying back all the Porcupine Tree albums.

GarlicForever I still buy albums. As a matter of fact, I am gonna buy Blackfield V and the new System of a Down album the days they come out. Also (side note), what I said about buying all the albums I've pirated may seem like an empty promise, but I have already bought many of them and I am getting even more for Christmas. By the end of this week, I will have hard copies of over half of the Porcupine Tree albums

My FYE has been closed for nearly 2 years now and I hate it so much. Best Buy has declined so much since I first starting shopping there 6 years ago, from the customer service to just having a certain album in stock. Yeah FYE might've been higher, but at least they had the freakin album! Now I have to rely on Amazon(which is kinda turning into the internet Walmart IMO) or just going through the bands' label which I see is the best option now. But there's nothing quite like the experience.

One place i love to go for my discs is a place in Newport News called Fantasy. It's an awesome shop. Has a record store on the 2nd floor and a goth/stoner/LARPer shop on the first. It's a cool place.

Just owning a master copy is worth it in and of itself. I hate the idea of having my collection assigned to a commercial account in the cloud somewhere. I can just rip my collection and throw it all on my mp3 player to go.

I will only buy physical copies of music. I love the sleeve notes in albums, especially the sleeve notes in Revolver and Abbey Road by the Beatles. If anyone says that CD's are dead are wrong because many musicians still bring out there music on both Vinyl and CD. People who download have no appreciation for music.

I agree completely. The way artists need to make money is on good performances. I'll shell out 60+ dollars on a concert or show any day, and I'll go out and see the same bands many times over as well. Meeting of the minds can happen on the internet...its called research. Its all about convenience. I like physical copies, and if I really wanted to shell out the hard earned cash on those copies, I can probably order it on the net (Amazon) and I can listen to it first on KZbin. lol.

There aren't any music stores around me that sell new music. However, there are a few places that sell used music at half price along with used movies and books. I can sometimes get 9 c.d.s for $40.00 while at a place like Best Buy [who I buy from at times] I can only get like 4 c.d.s for that same price.

Times are changing, the physical music store is dying...I'm sorry for your career, but you should really accept it. When I was a kid, I used to love to go to Eide's (you're from Pittsburgh right?) but today their prices are over-inflated (as they were back then but we didn't have the internet) I remember that it was cool to hang out and chat with people about music. I don't have a lot of time or that much extra money, Best Buy suffices cause they have a lot of new released for 10 bucks, why not?

I hate downloading. I buy all my cd's and I live in South Africa (I'm the guy you spoke to on fb coverkiller) Cd's are at the cheapest 80 Rand (the currency we use in SA) which is $10 and those are usually best of cd's. but actual cd's range from R180 - R300 which is $20-$40 which is ridiculous I'm 16 and I work a shitty job as a waiter to buy my cd's but it's worth it when you crank a good ambient black metal or brutal as fuck death metal album all the way. Support your bands and buy CD's!

What if I like metal but I live in a country that imports absolutely not a single CD. What if Amazon doesn't ship them here and even if it would, I still wouldn't have the experience of going into a store. I never was at a metal concert and don't own a single metal CD. What if youtube and spotify are the single music stores I hace acces to?

Man I'm like the only kid that likes this music. I'm early teens and IT FUCKING SUCKS!! I can't relate to nobody. I'm such an old school kid. All I do is play guitar and collect cd's! I hate that people just download songs not albums. Albums have feelings! If ya just but a few songs it kills the feeling. I'm so different than kids in their early teens now. Rock is about rebeling! An rap is about being all alike and it sucks man! Nobody's artsy anymore. Nobody is deep anymore. Nobody feels anymore people just wanna be badass! Nobody wants to love! Everybody wants to fight. Rap is about being with the power rock in a way is to get away from society. I hate rap now it makes everybody somebody they're not. I actually have a story, my friend was SOO COOL last year he drummed and we loved RUSH I still do!!! We were best friends. This year I started seeing him he strated listening to music and smoking and burning out and smoking pot and all he wanted to do was smoke, sag, think he was the shit, and rap! He then got arrested for selling a drug and someone went into shock cause it now hes kicked out and in jail! His parents are soo embarressed

Don't worry. I can relate to you a lot! Every weekend I go to the record store. I'm planning to get a Les Paul electric guitar. I'm still saving up to get one. I don't really listen to music past 2000. And I might be your age, I'm thirteen.

The reason why is because the file is compressed. The file needed to be smaller back in the days of 56K so it wouldn't take you 3 days to download one song. If you want to hear the true sound you need to hear it on vinyl. Don't get wrong I own tons of cds but vinyls sound is so great.

Here's my deal: I do this based on common sense. I DOWNLOAD my music first, to make sure I am NOT wasting my hard earned money, since I AM POOR. I work fo ra living, but I do not make much. SO IF the album is worthy, I will go to the label ONLINE, and purchase the album. Thus knowing my money goes and supports that band. I WOULD buy music from a store, but even the smaller shops do not carry most of what I want, and it takes the some time to order it, about the same time AS I could order online.
