Do you download your music into MP3 format using an Application? Do you prefer old fashioned CDs or even the more retroactive Vinyls now regaining vintage popularity? Do you prefer cassette tapes?

I listen to mp3s, almost all of which are illegal downloads. Some are ripped from CDs I have bought, or purchased from Bandcamp or something. My boyfriend buys CDs, because that's all his car can play. Occasionally, I buy them as well. I want to buy a record player and some vinyl one day, though, probably once I get a house.

I actually rip music from CDs all the time to build up my laptop's MP3 library. I also have a couple wine boxes worth full of burnt CDs that I made from friends, family, and former lovers that I don't plan on getting rid of anytime soon. To be honest; I also will acquire a pirated version of an album every now and then. Give the music a test run. And if I REALLY enjoy listening to it, then I'll purchase the actual copy from the artist and discard the pirate.

I recently discovered Bandcamp a couple years ago- I've only bought one official album from the website- but I'm highly anticipating some more gems down the line!

I hear you about the record player and waiting until you get a house. Right now I'm going through a similar dilemma: Where I have a good solid vinyl collection, but just no vinyl player to have, use, and find a proper spot to play it with in our tiny apartment. So waiting for a house is a long term option. But my father and I might arrange something temporarily pleasing sometime down the road. ^_^
