How and where do you get music?

[markD]

i go to the record store and buy what i can that way. if i am interested in an import (which i usually am), there are a couple ebay stores i scope out....or i look at the century media list.

+1 on Amazon & eBay for used CD's. I have also ripped music from records. It does take some time but I enjoy it. I can go the record store with $13.00 and walk out with 10/11 records from the $1.00 section. And it's not that the records are scratched but albums that they have multiples of and the jacket may be gnarled up. You gotta love a good used Record/CD store.

iTunes

I subscribe to Rhapsody..... download the songs I want, run them through a DRM stripper when I go to bed....wake up and have tons new music. I have 1TB hard drive 80+% full of music and another 1 TB full of porn.

I still buy the CD's of the bands I really like for full audio sound and to support the bands...... refuse to pay for the porn though.-Lou

Ok, this is getting stupid. Last night I bought about 7 CDs.

4 of them I already have.

This sucks.

I used Audiograbber with Lame encoder and ripped all my CD's to MP3. You also have a lot of choices of Internet Radio.

I like cd's and the liner notes and shit. So I seldom download music. I do tend to buy used ones from Ebay quite often, but usually go to Newbury Comics and buy them brand new.

I always go to my local record store. Here's their online site... http://www.vvinyl.com/

Same here, I go to my local records stores to buy either CD's or vinyls, record stores also have an important social role, great places to bullshit with cool folks and pick up girls.

Vintage vinyl! Are they still on rt 1? Nice.

CDs are dead as a physical medium. They should be completely banned. Also so is vinyl. All hail digital media!

[toejam]

Yep, Vintage Vinyl is still in the same place on Rt 1. I still buy CDs and sometimes vinyl.

I buy my cd's here http://www.scraperecords.com/ and rip them (also using Audiograbber and LAME encoder) to high bitrate MP3 for playing on my Archos media player and computer. The CDs rotate in and out of the car.

I find music on Youtube and then buy the CDs if I can find them. I buy most of my music at a local shop used. It's hilarious because the place is also a head shop and I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who shops for music there. Their metal section is fantastic. I found a used copy of Lost Horizon's "Awakening the World" for ten bucks. I also found some Sonata Arctica and Emperor there too. They have a lot of great shirts. I should go back there soon. I've been too busy lately.

Edit: I'm gonna investigate that Audiograbber. iTunes is terrible for ripping CDs and that's what I've been using.

I always buy the CD and almost always buy it new. I have yet to download a song or album. Seems Amazon gets most of my business since most of the record stores are gone. For in car listening I rip to 192kbps wma and put it on my Zune HD.
