Where do you get your music?

I've found a couple of songs that I want to buy, obviously there's iTunes, but I'm looking for something cheaper ideally (if possible), I've been listening on Spotify obviously, but I want to download them and sync them to my phone.

Any ideas?

Anything except troll comments welcome.

You keep saying obviously, but are these things really obvious? Why was it obvious that you use spotify? I think you need to ponder hard and consider your need to use the word obvious too many times in your post, when, in fact, what you were saying wasnt exactly obvious.

emusic and amazon

Cheers dude, just signed up to emusic, 25 songs free! I'll cancel after as that should last me a while.

I don't know really, It's just every time I speak to someone about music they say spotify in the next sentence.... So I assumed every used it. Also iTunes everyone has heard of as it is the dominant force in the market so it was obvious.

0.99 is not a lot. It's often cheaper than buying the album and getting songs you really don't want (usually there's only three or four you want).

it's one of the things I think should be free, so I'm looking to save money.

Why the fuck should music be free? That is one of the most obnoxious things I've ever heard.

I steal because I'm a greedy, lazy asshole, not because I think it's right or justifiable.

Wow this post seems worth replying to.

Because art should be free.

Probably because he can't understand music and thus can't see the value in it and therefore fails to comprehend that someone should get paid for the time/money/effort put into it. And apparently he is a cheap bastard unable to pay a couple pounds for some songs.

I did not realise they stocked music, it's some time since i've been to a non university library.

I have not seen their cassette collection lately :biggrin:

I go to the library because I take my kid to the library. I'll grab some CDs, mostly classical, come home and rip.

PS ripping is not illegal here.

I did. It said "Because art should be free"

Everything is arguably art. Any creation (for idiots like you, read: inventions) is art. That includes movies, music, paintings, inventions, etc.

You're a fucking moron.

It's not that, although that is a factor. No it's because I believe art should be free.
