I could buy an album on MP3 for $10+ now, oooor I could go to the local Good Will regularly and pick up any CDs that look interesting for $1 apiece and rip those, then return them to Good Will when I don't want to hang on to them anymore.
This doesn't really work if you want new releases or something specific of course, but I've rediscovered some great music from late 80s to early 2000s artists by browsing it periodically. And for $1 a CD, it's much easier to justify taking a risk on something.
- camtarn 5y agoHeh, yeah, that's actually what used to motivate me to buy things on CD. Nowadays, I'm very fortunate to have a decent bit more disposable income than I used to, so I'm happy to put some directly towards the artist. I prefer to buy from Bandcamp where I can, which seems to have the largest artist share (up to 100% on promo days!)
- cableshaft 5y agoI still buy digital albums as well, and I've bought a decent number of albums on Bandcamp over the years. But I also enjoy getting older albums cheap when I can.
