A lot of my music I've got from the library. I like that because if I don't like the CD, it's not like I've paid money for it, and if I do ... I tend to copy it to the computer... probably not legal, but *shrugs*

I've also got music off some of my friends, but the rest of my music collection either belongs to me, or my family. (I keep on commandeering their CDs!)

Many years ago,I used to buy CDs and the sad thing about that is that I only liked 2 or 3 songs.Now, I get my music on the internet thanks to Limewire.

I buy most of my cds, but I get music from friends occasionally. I borrow cds from the library every once and awhile, but the selection is limited. If its an artist I really like and want to support, I will buy the cd, I refuse to burn it. I also refuse to burn cds from idie artists, because they don't make much money, unlike most signed bands.

I usually buy my Cd's (Go CD Warehouse!) but I'll listen to clip of the artist/borrow a CD from the library before I actually buy anything.

About 50/50.
Buy/Download

Having a baby makes it harder to spend spare money on frivolous things like cd's so when I'm short on cash I will resort to Lime Wire.
To be fair though, most of the things I download I own on vinyl and not having an old turntable kinda makes it hard to listen to them.
So I download.

What bugs me is that the RIAA thinks that even if you buy a cd, and it breaks, then you still can't download it. That just seems like greed. One of my cds got horribly scratched up, but I didn't buy another one, I downloaded it again! Why would I pay for the same CD twice?

Maybe I'm wrong here...what would you do?

Well, maybe every time you bought a CD, you could save the tracks to your computer, and if the hard copy got scratched, you could burn yourself a new copy from the tracks on your computer...just a thought.

Most of the music I listen to is from the library. I have a very limited CD collection (too expensive to buy lots), I don't believe in downloading music via file-sharing programs, and I haven't tried iTunes yet. So, if I hear a band that sounds cool, or know of a good soundtrack, I'll check it out from the library. Usually I end up deeming it mediocre, so I'm perfectly content to return it to the library, but when I find a CD I really really like, I'll shell out the money to buy a hard copy.
