| Spot on. I support small bands by buying their merch, whether it's a CD or a t-shirt, I'm always prepared to chuck a few quid in to help them pay their costs. That said, I'm not averse to circulating 'best of the latest buys' to a couple of DJs I know, working on the principle that these lads will play these tunes out, the bands will get a bit of free publicity and hopefully a few more fans.
Most bands I know are happy with this, it's when people start ripping whole albums it becomes a bit of a mickey take.

| 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!
