I used GameMusicGear MX for that purpose on PSP. that was lovely.

Back on topic. I don't really buy music anymore. It's so easy to find everything on internet with a single google search :/

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

The music i listen to is not something i can buy so umm... Not really. Also i mean we have MTV for a reason, lol

 

[Deleted User]

Music shouldn't be really paid tbh.
I know artist waste alot of time to create them but purchasing a small .mp3 file which will be pirated in 2 days is just, meh.

 

[Stephano]

For those of you windows users who HATE itunes, there is a spectacular alternative called "Copy trans manager" Its itunes but 420% more user friendly. Plus it allows you to copy any mp3 file and video to your device with ease. (cough* youtube2mp3 cough*)
OR, don't use apple products because they suck.

 

[bjaxx87]

Music released in physical form? Yes. Digital music? No. (Pretty much the same applies to games and movies, I just don't want to pay for digital contents.)

 

[Mazamin]

I just pay for the records that I buy on discogs, if it's digital I just pirate.

 

[HaloEliteLegend]

I've never bought music, but I do subscribe to Google Play Music + YouTube Red, so I can listen to any song I want ad-free at any time. I suppose that counts as paying for music? I just don't see the point in buying individual albums anymore. Subscribe to a music streaming service (there's plenty of them out there) or just use YouTube. Buying individual albums seems like a waste of money to me, unless you really want to support the artist or something.

 

[Xanthe]

Never have, never will

 

[CitizenSnips]

Technically i do pay for spotify premium, but i'm really just paying for the ability to download the songs for offline play and no ads, so not really paying for the songs themselves. In any other scenario where i need a .mp3 or something, no i don't pay for them

 

[RustInPeace]

 

[JFlare]

Fuck no. I either take it from the library or get it from youtube.

 

[RHOPKINS13]

If it's something I like, I'll buy it. I try to support the artists I like, most songs can be bought for around a dollar, that's really not asking very much at all compared to how much money you spend daily on other crap.

Back in the day I used Napster when it was popular, different Gnutella clients like BearShare and LimeWire. Back then nobody (at least none of my peers as an early teenager) cared about music copyright. Most people never even thought about it, they didn't think that something as simple as recording a song off the radio could be considered theft.

Also used to use some sketchy sites to buy my music from, AllOfMP3, allTunes, mp3Sale.ru, MegaBoon. I figured I was paying for it, so it had to be legal at least to some degree. Some part of me wanted to believe that the money was going to the artists, but later I finally told myself who did I think I was kidding...

I still like to download and listen to mashups, most of which you can't legally buy. I also like to download music videos from YouTube, with all the different VEVO channels for different artists it's pretty easy to grab every popular music video a particular artist made. I like to play them full-screen on my living room television on shuffle. I would pay for them if I could, but the only places I've found to legitimately buy music videos are iTunes and Amazon, and I absolutely refuse to deal with DRM protection. Offer me legal, DRM-free MP4s and I'll be a loyal customer, until then, I'll download from YouTube.

With all the resources that are available today, If you have to pay for your music, then it's a fucking scam.
