I buy CD's as well, but only after I have sampled the artists work via MP3s. I am noticing more and more that the quality of the mass majority of MP3s online is rather poor. I also take offense to artists making one or two good singles to catch the publics attention then bloating the rest of the CD with absolute crap and I end up ripping the two goods songs to MP3 and then mixing them onto a CD. I honestly cant wait until Apple releases iTunes for PC so that I can use it with my PC iPod and just pay $1.00 per song that I like and get a copy that I can have on my PC or my iPod. That way the artists make about the same ammount per song, I just dont have to buy the bloat.
