Buy Original CD's (Please)

I don't like the idea of buying music online at all. Even if the tracks were in lossless format you'd still have to play them from your computer. And getting your computer into a good source takes lots of money and effort, and still it will never reach the level of high-end cd-players.

I'm shamed to admit I didn't buy cds in the past, but when I discovered psy/chill/prog etc I spent a lot of money on a good sound system (I didn't even have a dedicated cdp before) and started seriously buying cds. I buy cds mostly because of their sound quality and the ability to play them in my cdp. Of course covers and supporting the artist are important, but they come second for me.

I don't think it's too complicated to get a hi-fi-computer-based-not-too-expensive sound system today, and I try to look at the future. Today the hi-end multiroom systems are based on files and hdds - you grab your CDs and use the database. Tomorrow it will be the mainstream of home audio. So I would't say "never reach"

This is so not me, to write down the thoughts thatīs eating on me. iīve wote this on no specific order and it might look a bit confusing, and so was i and still am about trance in particular.

I shouldnīt have to explain to you that iīm buying music that i love, but i do it becouse i maybe will get some comments on supporting the piracy, withc iīm not. try to amke some sence out of it. read between lines, donīt read, do whatever you want. have a great day wherever your are!




Iīve read a lot of these topics, and many of us have.
many people love trance, and many people have computers, and many are gathered together here, in this forum.

computers allow us to do things, many things beyond imagination, and that amazes us, and people want one. and with all the capacity and speed a monster like this have, and still getting better it must be to good to be true that they arent really that expensive as a result of that the industries make a lot of money of these devices.
therefore the stuff they put out are very good machines but still there the industry develops every day and new computer industries are found. Just a thought

trance industry today on the other hand are broaden to for each day and new labels are found and artists with expectations of making money on this "interest", call of life, their way, or whatever way they describe it. But the dream are shatterred when the sellings go bad, the label takes much money(i do not longer hesitate, i often do not accuse people of doing these kind of things, but is it one thing that the music industry has taught me it is that more money goes to them than the artist him/her/themselves) and with that in mind how do you "support" your favourite artists when they donīt get so much of the cake that they should have? how does that encourage me to buy their cd? Labels and artists complain becouse they donīt make much money today but in the past only few artists then could live of their music, and artists should of today should know that and donīt be so moneyhungry, and that is what much of this scene is built on now. maybe a love for music, but money comes allways first, and people will sure try their dumb suggestions to stop piracy. Search a djīs back for burnt cdīs, and if he canīt prove he has the originals he will get prison or whatever. Or why not track them down by their computer and make them pay for it. and they say the spririt in trance is dead, well this is just the way to get it back. Just a thought

Also, out of all the artists coming out of the seed called music, how many of them are actually something that you without hearing any samples would buy in the first place and when you notice this, youīve allready lost a lot of money that you could as a student use on something better, a nice gift maybe(since a cd cost allmost half of what youīre earning), and people on forums who iīd rather not call by their names, say that if you canīt afford it you simply canīt have it witch just pisses me off, since everyone just donīt have the same standard in life, but an equal love for music. just a thought

So, why do we buy cdīs. ofcourse many reasons. but my main reason is and have mostly been that i want to support the artist and let them know that thereīs people who love their music and do like to see them continue doing it. but will they, will i continue for much longer and dive into trance when iīm frighten of the future that it will kill me before it digs itīs on grave. Just thoughts



Right, music industry is truly changed, And so am i, But will it make any difference

There's something called 'saving money'. Ever heard of that? You should try it, it enables you to buy the music you love. What you're saying here with all your 'thoughts' is that you just want to be able to download all the music you feel like, buying it becomes question two while it should be question one.

So, if you love the music, just listen to the samples the psyshops offer online, and buy the music from the artists you like. And stop going on about the way the labels and scene is behaving, because good music is still coming out, so what do you care??

Music is music. It's as simple as that. Buy it if you like it. If you don't ... well, just forget it.

Well. expected this kind of answer.

iīm saving money yes, and whenever i hear something i like from a friend or so, i buy it. Not often nowadays.

If you wouldīve read my answer on the top it stating that "I shouldnīt have to explain to you that iīm buying music that i love, but i do it becouse i maybe will get some comments on supporting the piracy, withc iīm not. try to amke some sence out of it. read between lines, donīt read, do whatever you want. have a great day wherever your are!"

and i guess you picked out the part you felt like reading and made up your opinion that way. i donīt support piracy, and i donīt either support the mafia like music industry that we seem to have everywhere. maybe iīm a bit hard on the industry but with all the opinions and attitude in and against music today there must be something thatīs not right. just a theory!
And thereīs to much musis thatīs not made by heart today that i canīt ignore it. But youīre right ofcourse ! "if i like it i like it. if not, donīt bother:)

Psyshop is a great source with a nice price i think.
greets!

Quality Quality Quality

buy your music mastered

cherish the artwork

and the whole journey that goes along with producing not just the track but the whole story

how else are you ever going to understand what the artist/ record label were trying to say

let lament the existence of our deniros
lets spend our money wisely
lets also release that 1 deniro spent is 2 deniro s earned

this is just the new holocost

Don't overreact, think some minutes about the holocaust and about what you wrote.

It is not funny.

Some stolen cd are not killing over 6 million people!

My point is, i like to buy good cds with music i like. But there are to much releases to buy them all, even to listen them all at the record store.
To know what you like listen the copies.
I think filesharing is part of our community.

Support the ones you like to hear, but don't campaigning against the people that love to share.

Peace            Signature

I buy what i like and to show my support to the artist, label and shops. Its nice to buy the cd rather than download it because you can sometimes always get free stuff (stickers,booklet etc) when you get from the cd which is non downloadable and lil freebies from the shops which always keeps me satisfied (flyers, label stickers, shop stickers, cards). I rather buy cds in this genre because eventhough downloading hurts so much, the artists and labels still try their best to give you something good and it always get better. I am really proud of the artists and labels from this scene in striving to bring us the music we love eventhough they are fighting a tough battle of downloading. Anyway i continue to buy 4 cds every month and merchandises sometimes
