But the only reason I don't is because I don't have time, which is not a very good reason at all. posted by: librarianguish (reply) post date: 05.24.04 (11:34 am) We don't anymore, though we used to. Unfortunately, we had a computer crash that wiped out over 2,000 tracks :( I miss the unusual stuff that you're never going to find in the store anyhow - it's not like I'm downloading today's star of the week! For now, I just get alot of my new music from the library, but they don't increase the collection real fast. I would LOVE to be the music selector for the library system!!! posted by: hardtoimagine (reply) post date: 05.24.04 (11:42 am) I still download occasionally, when I want to check something out before buying the cd. However, many artists are now posting clips on their websites that you can listen to so I go directly to their websites instead. posted by: newbie (reply) post date: 05.24.04 (11:58 am) I used to but I do not anymore. I listen and respect my government. What they tell me to do, I do. I salute their order and carry on smartly. posted by: ReBorn (reply) post date: 05.24.04 (12:54 pm) I used to download only the music i couldnt find in the stores anymore (Deleted titles or very old foreign music). I stopped downloading because of all the spyware and adwares within the files and the servers that had file sharing... I wish there was a place where people could still obtain deleted or world music in a more honest way (on both sides of the spectrum). posted by: ReBorn (reply) post date: 05.24.04 (12:56 pm) Reply to: newbie lolll@newbie.. aren't you precious :) i want to be just like you when i grow up :)) posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 05.24.04 (3:12 pm) Reply to: jenxer I'd say it's a pretty good reason. Sounds like you are filling your life with all sorts of worth while endeavors. Speaking of which, I plan to reply to your e-mail VERY soon. :) posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 05.24.04 (3:13 pm) Reply to: librarianguish Well... you need to just suggest yourself for the job! :) Thanks for the great comments! posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 05.24.04 (3:14 pm) Reply to: hardtoimagine Ya... I'm with you there. Besides, a lot of the bands I love are not found on the usual search engines. posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 05.24.04 (3:14 pm) Reply to: newbie Well.. that's because you are an expertly trained fighting machine. posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 05.24.04 (3:15 pm) Reply to: ReBorn I agree... the spyware is enough to send me packing. Grrrrrrrrr! :) posted by: librarianguish (reply) post date: 05.24.04 (3:45 pm) If only it were so simple - my library system is so large it's steeped in procedure, especially when it comes to hiring. Oh well..... posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 05.24.04 (4:31 pm) Reply to: librarianguish Aaaaah... the joys of red tape. Well... you know what they say, if you can't join 'em, beat 'em! :) posted by: SheSpecies (reply) post date: 05.26.04 (11:33 am) I believe in "test driving" things before I purchase. I will download an mp3 to see if I like an artist/group before I purchase the cd. I have downloaded things that I've been searching for and have been unsuccessful finding in record stores. I don't believe in ripping off whole cd's from the web...and besides, my ears have discriminating taste. MP3's just don't retain the same quality of sound which an actual cd contain, so that's yet another prompt for me to seek out the artist/group for their cds if I've decided I would like to add them to my collection. posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 05.26.04 (4:37 pm) Reply to: SheSpecies I agree with your philosophy. But then again the truth is that much of the music I listen to isn't really available for swapping. Thanks for the comment! :) posted by: SheSpecies (reply) post date: 05.26.04 (8:22 pm) Reply to: juniperflux Any time, Sis. ;-) posted by: blogic (reply) post date: 06.03.04 (1:54 pm) Well, what I think is really funny are the broadband commercials that talk about the benefits of being able to download movies. As far as I know, there's still no legal way to download movies to one's computer. posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 06.03.04 (3:03 pm) Reply to: blogic VERY good point. Clearly downloading is a reality that some people plan to capitalize on. Thanks for the comment! :) |
