Burning CDs

   I dont burn albums myself, although I've had plenty burnt for me by friends.
Someone burnt an album for me recently so I could get a taste for the artists music. If I like what I hear, I'm likely to go out and buy all the artists work anyway, so I dont beat myself up over it.
In fact I spend huge amounts of money on CD's and vinyl anway, so I like to think it all balances out in the end..

	I only burn albums that are imposible to get in my country or some that are ridiculous expensive, a few months ago I payed 36 bucks a piece for Japanese editions of No Earthly Connection and Criminal Record both by Rick Wakeman, but that's my limit. Last week a guy from a store offered me Dark Side of the Moon (Because my CD fell to the floor) for 25 bucks (Buying it by Internet including Peruvian tax would be about US$ 30) so I decided I had already payed too many times for the same album, so I burned the copy I had in the PC.

	I am more of a in betweener than the choices you made available. I am one who prefers to see cds the way they were meant to be seen...bought from the store with their original artwork.....but..... sometimes it doesn't hurt when a friend nudges you toward a band you may have never considered.

	I've been thinking about this for a while, on my own time, in my own head..... No, seriously. I used to copy albums from friends (Foxtrot -> Meddle, they're all CD-R'ed) ... but one day I woke up, hit my head on my CD-rack and a flame was born in me : Originals are so much better. I seem to feel some sort of proudness, when an album is bought, and MINE. Of course, the money issue comes up quite a bit. So I was wondering, what about you guys?
