53838_1362327793.jpg And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_53838.jpg |

| I've always prefered to buy my music physically, whether it be vinyl in my younger days or in CD form nowadays.....I just have the old fashioned view that the whole packaging of the product is as important as the music itself, when it comes to being judged as an artform.
I must admit that I don't buy as much nowadays, mainly because my music taste has become a bit more narrow and choosy in recent years - I'm tending to find that the internet age, as well as giving newer, unknown bands the chance to get their music listened to, as also created a quantity over quality aspect to music....Yes, there is good music out there, but there is an absolute load of mediocre dross, especially from younger bands who think that having a couple of guitars and a set of drums automatically makes them a listenable band.

| 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!
