The Recording Industry of America sucks!

I use www.bandit.fm and just linked my PayPal to it. Songs only cost about $1.68 to $2.20, not a pain really :shrug:
:surrender


is that the current market, or is that a little high?

it was only a few years ago it was under a buck a song. we can still get buck movie rentals, why are single songs up that high?

the other thing i would like to point out is what you are doing to the musicians and composers. screw the recording industry for all i care, they're just mafiosi of a different stripe. the artists themselves don't get paid for your free download of they're song.

how can everybody's interests be met here?

another thing, i just snagged a drive out of a dumpster with over 100 gigs of music on it. i'll be glad to share what's on it with any of you. the drive is right here and i can upload it to where ever you want.

there's a lot of mainstream 50's - 80's rock along with a bunch of great rockabilly players and what i call punk or headbanger music and of all things, a mess of movie and stage music and crooners like frank sinatra, bing crosby and dean martin.

probably illegal as hell, but hey mr man, i'm just a dumbass trash picker. what do i know?

say the word and i'll upload it onto this site if veronica will allow it.

Maybe iTunes has cheap songs, or maybe it's just new upcoming artists who aren't worth much yet.
 
CDs can be expensive here, up to $30 for an album. Seems like too much to be honest lol.

30$ really isn't much for something that can bring you happiness for the rest of your life, if you ask me. Can you think of any other item that can do that?

I mainly just buy CDs.

I only occassionally download Music I don't own and that's mainly when the CD is too expensive or I only like a couple of songs from that artist and don't want to buy a whole CD for like 2 songs.

Do you have Spotify? I can send you an invite if you'd like.
 
Spotify is pretty tremendous for something you have absolutely no obligation to pay for. I mean it's a very very reasonable price you pay if you want to pay, but the quality is very good even without doing it. Plus it has The Dandy Warhols on it, they deserve an open top bus parade.

Spotify in short is a music programme you Download and just listen to music on. You can also link it to Facebook with other people who happen to have it.
