Digital music- built in savings!

Started by Michelle 10/20/2010 1:23:22 PM

Did you know that most of us own digital music?  If you own a compact disc you can use Windows Media Player to convert the songs into Mp3 files, using the Rip feature!  Therefore, if you are looking at a musical artist's album to download off the internet, compare the price of a used CD to the price of the download FIRST, before you click "download now."

Very good point - I hadn't thought of buying used for that purpose. I usually just head over to iTunes.

When I insert a cd into my computer, iTunes automatically uploads it and puts it into my library, so no need to convert.

What I started doing was instead of buying an entire album of an artist, I check out the top 5 songs. Typically they are the best and the only ones I want anyways... then I buy those singly off the different albums. So I get by with only spending about $5 instead of 10-12.

Amazon has tons of music available for free download (just search for free MP3s) and if you're a fan of iTunes on Facebook they offer a free song each week and free music samplers regularly.

This is really an interesting concept about digital music. I love to hear and watch such.

I prefer to purchase new CDs over used ones or digital music. Bands don't make as much off digital music purchases as they do actual record sales. Though, I'm sure most mainstream artists don't need anymore money, I listen to a lot of unknown bands that I like to support by purchasing their CDs.
