It was the Wakey link initially but I've seen em 20 odd times now, I like indie type stuff, Courteeners, Tane Imapala, Palma violets at the moment, vinyl wise I like old stuff, T Rex, The Clash, Be Bop deluxe etc

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!

The new Filaments album Land of Lions is well worth a listen,Cracker of an album

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!
