Do you buy CDs?
Do you buy CDs?
Usually I will download an album first and if it becomes a favourite I will buy it eventually. If it's terrible I will delete it. I try to buy the Japanese version if possible because they often have bonus tracks and the Obi is a great addition to a loved CD.
The last time I bought a CD on impluse I didn't like it and it felt like such a waste of money (£25 on MusicStack). It was rare and I couldn't find it any other way, but I won't be doing that again unless I know the artist and nobody is sharing it and I can't even preview song samples.
I don't think there is anything immoral about this "try before you buy" method or if you don't buy the CD at all. Nobody wants to spend money on media they don't like.
