Poll! How do you purchase music online?

Nov 30, 2009 17:32

I'm curious as to how people purchase music online. Right now I have my new album available at BandCamp, but I'm thinking of adding it to iTunes, Amazon, etc. too. Help me out!

By the way, all of my CDs and vinyl are $1-off for the rest of today (if you buy direct, ha!). Happy Cyber Monday!

I agree on most counts, though the iTunes store is now mostly DRM-free, at least on all of the music I've bought recently. If not, you can burn and re-rip, and then you have a hardcopy backup as well.

That's why I love BandCamp, because the default encoding is 320k - and for the same price you can choose lossless formats! But I think that BC hasn't reached some sort of critical threshold of mainstream acceptance yet. I really hope it does.

I'd buy stuff from Bleep.com and pages like that. I also buy video games online, so I guess there's no real reason not to buy music. Even though I prefer the entire netlabel aspect and am one of the people who likes to have physical proof of "owning" that piece of music and putting it in her shelf. If there was an actual purchase process involved.
