High all,
I was just reading some of the topics and think to myself:
DO YOU ALL BUY CDs IN STORE OR DO YOU BURN CDs?
I have about 200 CDs in my collection, mostly Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Doors, Santana, Eric Clapton, The Cream, Dire Straits, Steve Ray Vaughn...but mostly all are burnt CDs. My original most valuable Cds are The Beatles Anthology 1,2,3 and it took a lot of blood and tears to get to them. And the others are just burned CD because for the price of one original i could get 10 burned CDs. Very rational, what do you think?
WOW...

I think it's pretty smart.
I also think your musical taste is pretty damn good.
(Ie, I own stuff by nearly all of the above. See General Discussion - A Collection Of Great CDs.)
I'm a sucker for packaging, though - I love the booklets and official-ness of compact discs.
<Cream rock.>
The only burnt ones I own are Abba Gold - Greatest Hits and a few Solution albums (Dutch 70's prog).

I'm not against burning CD's but NOBODY can burn Pink FLoyd's CD's!!!???!!! I want to enjoy the fantastic album artwork of Pink Floyd so I couldn't think of taking to my CD-tower burned CD's. (Well I have Janis Joplin 3CD-collection that was burned to me and Iäm very proud of it but there was nothing optional artwork in the sleeves.)

I like the smell of the finisher they use on those really glossy booklets. For that alone I will buy CDs!! I only download stuff from the net that I would not buy so nobody is getting harmed by that I dont think. If a good album comes along (like Feeders Comfort In Sound, bar a couple of songs) then I will make a purchase.
Music should not just be a resource limited in supply to everybody for budgetary reasons. Buy what you can afford and "evaluate" the rest!!

While I have mp3s of some songs, I'm against burning official releases. If the whole album is good enough, I'll go out and buy it.
But if you're talking about RoIOs, I'm guilty of burning those. I would rather have people share these than have some company, not affiliated with Pink Floyd, making money.

I dont think bands lose money to napster anymore, people are buying CDs more than ever, except maybe Hootie and the Blowfish, they kinda died out, anyways, to see why i hate metallica, go to this great site

If anything, I find that getting stuff from file sharing sites actually helps me decide if I want to but an album or not. On more than one occasion i've bought an album on the strength of one song, only to find out that the rest of the album is pretty bad. At least I now have the option of hearing some other tracks before deciding whether to buy the album or not.
