with you on this one. I have a vast itunes library stock full of music I have legally ripped from my cd collection and also stuff that - ahem - has been acquired thru soulseek, torrent & blogspots. I often download stuff to get a feel for it before a purchase. Every month I buy at least 3 cds so I am still supporting the industry albeit through the likes of amazon,blahdvd, ebay et al. Just wish I dad a decent indepentent store out here in the sticks. Thats what I miss a good record shop you can just stroll in and find something in the racks you never thought of buying before.
