5 Reasons You Should Download Music Online
Are you still out there buying CD’s at your local record store ? Disgruntled that you must endure heavy traffic and ever growing mall crowds only to find out the store is out of stock for the CD or album you wanted to purchase ? If that’s you, then keep reading, there are many reasons why you may want to trade in that CD for some more portable type of music.
1. Availability - There are hundreds of music genres available for download online. Some are free, some charge nominal fees for each download. No matter which you choose though, you will have no problem finding the type of music you like to listen to. From hard rock and heavy metal to country and easy listening, you can find it on the web.
2. Portability - Download your favorite songs onto your MP3 player and you can take the music anywhere. To the beach, to the store, everywhere you go, you’ll have all your favorite music with you at the touch of button, just remember the batteries ! The majority of MP3 players offer many ways to listen to music, many have “docks” that you can plugin to making the music available for everyone to listen to, or just use your head set and keep it all personal. You can also play the MP3 files through your computer as well.
3. Affordability - How many times have you purchased a CD for $14.95 only to discover you only liked one or two songs off the entire album ? You’ll never have to waste that money again. Downloading MP3 music online is very affordable. Some sites offer free downloads, and others will charge a small fee for each song, but either way it’s far more affordable than purchasing an entire CD to get one song.
4. Cutting Edge Technology - As more and more people own MP3 players and IPods, more and more artists are using these media types to “pre release” their music, giving sneak peaks at upcoming albums and singles via the internet. You can always get the newest and best music no matter what genre of music it is you listen to and prefer.
4. Manageability - Organizing and keeping track of a large music collection can be a daunting task. Especially when your music collection takes up half a wall in your living room ! With MP3 files, it’s much simpler to keep records of your music and they take up far less space than conventional CDs, cassette tapes, or even vinyl albums.
Take the plunge…start your MP3 music collection today !

Yes, but when we recorded radio music the quality was inferior and it was rather limited and inconvienient. Now, with a click of the mouse we can copy a perfect high fidelity image of the artist’s work. Why buy if we already have the real thing? It does impact royalties and money is the bottom line for any industry.
Maybe if all music were composed, performed, and distributed free of charge so that it isn’t a mega-business, then it would be more meaningful and have greater artistic merit. "Money changes everything!"

Because you couldn’t share that music with millions of people instantly like you could now with computers. Back then, taping music was only for yourselves really. Now you can download copyrighted music whenever and where ever you can and that is illegal to do so due to copyrighted laws.

Wow, you are stupid… To answer your simple and ignorant question, it is illegal to download music in some places, when it is for free. This is because the artist doesn’t know you are doing this, and he hasn’t given you permission to get that music. This is because he loses money that he should be getting for making the music. One has to pay him back for his contribution by buying the CD or something of that sort

well first it was ILLEGAL to tape record…
But the biggest difference it that once you have music in digital form, it’s very easy to distribute.
You couldn’t send your "casette tape" to 100,000 people with an e-mail attach… or put it up on your website to download.
Look… I like getting something for nothing… but an artist spend thousands sometime TENS of THOUSANDS of dollars to get that song produced… everyone SHOULD pay their freight… if they want to ride.

I think I heard somewhere that’s it’s always been technically illegal to record music off the radio but they never really enforced it. I think they’re only making a big deal about downloading off the net, because they can regulate it a lot more efficiently. They can trace IP addy’s etc. They can actually catch people now, whereas, they weren’t able to really catch people years ago who recorded off the radio.

People bought more music when they had to cut out the commercials and the talking in between. downloads are straight perfect music. Recording devices have more clarity now. Before the sound was noway near the record album or prerecorded tape. And I guess there not making enough with concerts, t-shirts … and it’s hurting the old pocket book. think about 20.00 times if it goes platinum or gold…. what they actually loose. have a good one.

Let’s say you wrote a great song. You got a bunch of friends to play the instruments too. You rent a recording studio to record the song. Your friends want to be paid for performing and the recording studio wants to be paid for their work on your song too. What you do is sell your song on CD. If you sell lots of them, you have enough money to pay your frinends and the recording studio and have some money for yourself too. However, if I buy your CD and make copies for everyone else in the world, you only sold one CD and you go broke.
If I download your music for free, I don’t have to pay you for it and you make nothing on your great song. It’s just like I stole the song from you. Would you like that? Most musicians can’t survive if no one paid for their songs.
Musicians need to make a living too.

I’m an ex-recording industry student, I had to take several classes on this stuff specifically. There are a couple of reasons for why no one got in a hussy over recording the radio. For one, the quality is damn near shit-tastic. Another is that most people didn’t have tape-recorders that could record an incoming radio signal straight to a tape. It was pretty expensive.
But possibly the biggest reason is that radio is viewed kind of like a public good. It’s out there for anyone. You can’t go taxing it because you can’t regulate who has a radio receiver. They’re too easy to come by.
So I guess now you can look at the other end: If radio recording ISN’T bad, then why is mp3 sharing? Well, for one it’s so damn convenient. With a fast enough connection you can download hundreds of dollars of music in about an hour. As opposed to waiting with a tape recorder up to your radio speaker all day. And here’s another point, it’s not just a crappy recording, it’s the exact same file as the one off the CD. Verbatim. No radio static. No fade outs or fade ins with DJs putting in their stupid banter.
I hope these points make a bit of sense to you. Like I said, EX-recording industry. It’s been a while since I actually cracked open a copyright book.
