With all due respect to everyone on this board, I think that strictly spinning cd's is sometimes cheap. Now bare with me here, I agree that if you produce a track & want to hear it on a loud system to test it out that's cool. I mean that's why they call it a "test press" but if your STRICTLY going online & downloading music I think that's cheap. Now don't get me wrong I am a business owner & would love all the extra revenue I can get =) But regardless of that, it kind of takes the fun out of it. Why do you think records (tracks, EP's etc) are so NOT hyped up anymore? Because you can simply download it from any shareware site before it comes out. Is that really fair? Any Joe Schmoe can go & get that record that you've worked so hard to get. I think it's a very touchey issue. No offense to anyone here as I don't think I know any of you personally but I think that people who STRICTLY download music are a joke. What happened to the fun of going to a record store & seeing the new stuff on the wall? Damn, I own a record store & STILL get excited when the new boxes xome in on Tuesdays & Fridays> Maybe I dont get out enough.... =) Just my 2cents!!!! See ya's . . .
