Music and Purchasing Habits (1 Viewer)

[raymondchouku]

Does anybody buy CDs anymore? or even music in general? or are you just streaming?

Personally, I would buy music (i.e. Physical, digital) if the prices were reasonable. Many new cds are around 15 usd and its hard to justify that much on a jewel case five-page inserts and a compact disc.. Especially since artists aren't getting paid much for album sales... And artists who are dropped [from their label] based on low album sales tend to land on their feet pretty easily.

I used to buy physical albums, but my CD-player broke and I don't have much reason to buy new one right now. So buying albums I wouldn't rly listen doesn't make sense to me. I mostly just stream, it's so easy these days thanks to youtube and spotify.

I only buy physical albums. Then rip em.
$ 15 for a 10 + Song Album is fine.
Although a good chunk of my domestic cd music collection(3-500 cd's) i bought used years ago.
Lately(since 2010) I mostly only buy Kpop and heck $15-20 with shipping for 3 album (out of Japan for example) i have some .
Korean albums though i only buy under 6 song albums if i happen to be in Korea, or i find it super cheap in amazon.

I have bought a handful of digital songs from amazon. Mostly English versions of kpop songs by the og artist.
I despise Apple and thus never will use itunes or buy a product.

Although the perma digital library from some albums bought on amazon is kinda nice, not that i ever use it much. Most of the music in amazon music is family buys.
these are mine but.

I buy alot on itunes digitally. I do buy some physical kpop albums too. I just got As You Wish (WJSN) and Mamamoo‘s Second Full Album today.

i own a lot of CDs now that i think about it, it's just that none of them are k-pop. there are a few stores near me which sell CDs and they're often cheap so i sometimes buy something when i'm there.

Yeah, there's this store in my city, that I haven't been to, that sells cds pretty cheap. Some online shops too.

I occasionally buy kpop albums because they're something I'm interested in collecting? Other than that I see no point in buying physical music bc I use things like YouTube and Spotify which make it so much easier, I just like collecting my favourite groups
