I try to rip the album from a friend, if no one has (or they won't let me), I'll buy it. If it has a few good songs then I'll downloads certain parts of it.

Not necessarily. Many people download music to see which albums they like and want to buy and which not. That way they can avoid buying albums they haven't heard and minimize the risk of wasting their money on crappy albums.
And not all people can afford to buy 10 albums a week

As I collect mainly old vinyls, I usually get them from second hand shops. Thus doing this, sadly the msuic maker gets nothing!  I was wondering this on some other thread this morning, so please forgive me if I repeat my self under stress.
Those groups which are active get my money, if they release their albums also as vinyls, or I am able to attend their non-free concert. OK, I may even accept to buy a CD, if the music is good enough.

I'd say over 95% bought, the rest burnt (and the ones I burn and really like, I'll buy as well - like the three Muse CD's).

if I like the band, I'll buy
the album. If I'm not sure yet, then I get it from my brother (we have
a network between our computers).

Unlike most of my friends, I am an album FREAK. I love to buy the CD and have them all displayed in my room haha. Plus, prog is usually album oriented, so its cool to have them in full, its kind of like a book to me. Most of my friends think I waste money by not downloading, but I dont really care  .

I usually download my music until I get the money to buy the albums. Although some will agree, I 'm sure downloading is helping most artists. I would not have bought some albums if I didn't download them to find out I liked them first.

Well spoken, Baldjean. ... and with ebay & amazon around, there is really very little excuse.

Hello? Think about it! Ebay... second hand... supporting the artist? |

I saw this thing on tv where you can take vinyl and put it on to your computer but i've never seen or heard about one since. Im too young to own any vinyls but my friends dad has some awsome vinyls
