My comments

• Most of my music is on physical media.
  My girlfriend and I have ripped all of our Cd's, which amounts to about 35gig of music. Not sure how many Cd's that is.
  My girlfriend regularly buys individual songs on Itunes.
  I never do.
  
  We still regularly buy Cd's at brick and mortar stores. Often this is more the spur of the moment purchases.
  If its harder to get we will order online from Amazon.
  We both like to have a disc and artwork, just seems more dependable. Computer folk always tell us backup, no better backup than the real CD!
  
  Burned Cd's from others would represent about half of one percent of our Cd's.
  if someone burns us a copy of something or a sampler we will probably buy the cd at some point. I can think of several artists by whom we now own multiple Cd's, that we discovered by a friend giving us a few tracks.
  
  We also own about 700 vinyl albums between us. Mostly from the 70's to early 90's. We still buy Vinyl, usually old stuff, usually used. We recently got a USB turntable (her requested christmas present actually) to start putting the Vinyl on the computer too.
  
  Sound Quality is important, we accept a certain loss for the convenience of listening on an Ipod. We do run the computer through the Stereo, but f we really want to listen (as opposed to having music on while doing other things) we will play a CD with tosslink connection, or Record. (We have 2 turntables and a mixer connected to the stereo)
  
  Dislike DRM
  find out about music from friends, music stores (love electric foetus), radio and online.
  Do not subscribe to any music service. In reply to: "Music poll: How do you get your music? CD? iTunes? Napster?"

• How much did they bank, thats the valid question
  Even at $2.00 an album they are taking home way more than the major record company would have given them in royalties.
  
  Surely the artist judges the business model on 2 successes, one how many people are enjoying my music, and 2 how much money is that putting in my bank account.
  Seems a winner for them. In reply to: "People do pay for music"
