I had downloaded both starsailor albums and listen to them both constantly, huge fan! Even saw them in december! I bought the first album about a year ago, and bought the second album last weekend. I dont download many mp3s, but i would definately say that i buy more cds, and buy better cds thanks to my ability to download them first!

Starsailor rock!

i totally agree!! thanks to the ability of listening to certain songs, i'm able to buy cd's of artists/bands i've never heard before, or aren't even known in my small country...

I don't download complete cd's anymore, but mostly i just search for some songs by artists, and when i like them i go look for the cd's they have, and i go buy the ones i like the best...

But in some way, i think that Starsailor got the message, by placing snippets of their songs on the website....an example that most other bands should copy!
i think, that this is a good solution to answer the needs of both artist and musicfans Smile

WAH!!! I can't download anything on my computer because KAZZA doesn't work on it Sad . So I just givemy friend an CD and a list of tracks (Never a full album by one artist) to burn on it. Then i'll go out and by the single or the album.

Yes, I'm glad the internet makes it possible for me to listen to all kinds of bands/genres I would have never been aware of otherwise.

I love AMG - and the fact that they have sections with "Related Artists". So I usually go and download their picks, and if I like it I buy the CD.
I don't know how bad the downloading really is for the music industry, but the fact is that it's much easier now for people to access all kinds of music. I suppose it spreads quicker now...

Ah, bless the web. Cool

Agreed. If it wasn't for mp3 downloading, I would have discovered most of my favourite artists....Massive Attack, Rob Dougan, Vivian Green, Goldfrapp, U.N.K.L.E., Amy Winehouse and now, Starsailor.

And whenever I download and preview an album or any artist, I make sure that I buy it afterwards...however, the downside to mp3 downloading...it has cost me so much money....all those albums I've imported from America and UK from artists I cannot find here in Australia!

erm, i usually download music, but i this way I could meet other kind of music, -like singles hard to find-

usually i hear one song, & if i like it, choose other.... with 2 good songs, I buy the CD, is the only way that I see for choose GOOD MUSIC, cause ihad mistakes, one name sounds good, i bought it, and... the music is a rubbish!!

then anyways, i download music, but i buy the CD's too
