Only if I'm supporting an artist like Britney, Mariah etc then I buy the album and the singles. But for most artists I download.

The only albums I've bought this year are Lady Gaga - The Fame and Lily Allen - It's Not Me, It's You :/

I have this converter where i can convert a youtube song onto Itunes so no need to buy CD's. I still bought Cd's up to about a year ago because Limewire was useless for me

Yeah the only singles I buy are Take That one's. I think I'm in the 30's with the albums I've bought so far this year.

YouTube to MP3 converter for singles, or if I want an entire album then I go on BitTorrent and download it from there.

I generally download unless it's an artist I really support [Christina, Green Day, Evanescence, Lady GaGa etc] but that's due to me not having the money to buy CDs, and I don't live at home anymore so I can't really ask my parents.

I do plan on buying the CD format of everything I've downloaded once I'm financially stable because I do like having the CD, just downloading is a lot easier for me atm.

Yes I do I really enjoy looking in HMV for CD's (My fave shop). I prefer a CD to a downloadable album reallly. Feels like you have something. You cant hold a download in your hands.

What i found great about Arctic Monkeys new Album is if you bought the Record you got a code to download all the songs for free...it's a god idea that i think more bands should apply...

I love doing that rambling round HMV and finding a bargain!

I'm a CD gurl!

I never download and pay for it... sometimes I go to MegaUpload or the like and download an album...

but if I know I like them, like McFly, The Saturdays, Vagabond etc, I buy it Xx

I buy CDs if it's an artist that is worth it because they worked on their album themselves and not some person I don't even know who worked on the music and lyrics where the artist gets like a fraction of the song writing costs

AND

if the artist is starting off, makes about 10 thousand pound a year from music.

Otherwise - No.

I will never buy a record from an artist who is record company fodder, like Beyonce, Girls Aloud, somebody from a TV "talent" show contest etc. because they get everything done for them as they have no musical knowledge whatsoever. Most of that money goes to a record company executive or some producer or writer I don't know or some random session musicians. Basically to a whole group of people who worked on a song like a production line.

I buy CD's I like having something physical as the idea of downloading from Itunes and then losing the files ETC it seems a bit risky.
