I still do, except I rifle through the ú1 each section (about 12 for $20!). I'm lucky in having three local 2nd hand vinyl shops. You can pick up vinyl (and CDs) pretty cheaply on eBay, if you're patient! Can I mention the Vinyls I'm sel

What happened to the good old days when you could go to the record store and buy 5 or 6 used albums for $20? I would say a little over half of my album collection was bought used. I don't have the time to spend on the computer to discover bands. These days

It's like I (boringly) keep saying. Music is someone else's intellectual PROPERTY, and by downloading it, you are STEALING it. That is NOT MY opinion, although I do agree to some extent. It is the LAW just about everywhere on earth nowad

Hi people,
I'm a new member here, but I agree with you about this issue.
They are losing an opportunity to sell more albuns trough the site.
I think it is not ignorance to put the mp3 file to download, and I suport the idea of continuing

Hmmm On the one hand they're right, the Music is their property and we would get it for FREE if the Mp3 is available on this site. Normally you have to pay for it! They need money to support the artists...BUT On the other hand, as I said

I AM NOT FAMILAIR WITH THE INS AND OUTS OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY SO I AM SOMEWHAT CONFUSED HERE. WHY WOULD THEY ASK FOR A SOUNDFILE TO BE REMOVED, IS IT FOR COPYRIGHT REASONS? I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GRAET PUBLICITY FOR A BAND!

1) For your information. There are 30 (!!) soundsamples on the Offcial Ayreon website. That would be plenty of sampling- I think. This song is a part of a single that is currently being sold. 2) No one ever asked permission of the official lice

I think by forcing you to remove the mp3 they are (pardon the expression) "pissing on they're own bonfire". As starship trooper says, they will lose prospective customers.  I would

Obviously they have no desire to sell their product. Would you buy a car without a test drive? I think not. I'm with StarshipTrooper on this one.

Well I usually listen to a sound file before I decide wether or not to go out and buy the cd. As I have nothing to listen to, Ayreon shall stay just another name to me. I won,t go out and buy any of their stuff without hearing it so, Mr Inside Out, There i
