| I remember one story regarding the band Talk Talk who gained success with their album Colour Of Spring, and because of that the record company gave them a much larger budget to make their follow up, but as you can guess where this is going, the album wasn't a commercial success because they made it the album they wanted to make not necessarily one that would sell. They also announced due to its complexity at the time, they were unable to tour it.
Hauschka is an artist however who has had to comply, mainly because the two hours it used to take to set up his piano, had to be cut down massively to be able to tour and play live. If you don't know who I mean, you will see what I mean by looking on a video site (He uses vibrators, tic tacs and ping pong balls on the piano).

| I've succumbed to downloading more and more in recent years but I never, repeat never, steal music; I hate the casual way that this generation does it and I wish that artists could be better protected.
An iTunes purchase has nowhere near the same thrill as buying an album and I miss holding the artefact in my hands and reading the sleeve notes and lyrics, but it's just too convenient to not do - hear a song on the radio/telly, look them up on iTunes, buy the album; it's frighteningly efficient.

| I buy music but I vary on what I buy it on
For instance a band or label I love I will buy CDs, for instance anything by Manics, Coldplay or Anjunabeats label I will buy on cd
Everything else straight onto iTunes to download
Plus CDs take up so much space!

| I've give up actually purchasing music either hard copies or digital. I have however for the last 12 mnths started to stream all the music I want / listen too.
I currently have a Spotify Premium account however I have recently taken a free trial with Sonys Music Unlimited.
The only issue I have is with the Apps (iPhone / iPad) they are all flawed slightly in one way or another which is a shame because paying a fee per month you'd expect them to be totally polished for music on the go.
Does anybody else use a streaming service? If so which one and how do you find it?

The downside to that is that in ten years time you'll not have a physical version to play. People won't have record collections!
