hoek.fred Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I'm a newbie with a limited amount of christmas and halloween music. So I'm curious to know how everybody else got their music files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wbottomley Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 To legally obtain music, you will need to purchase or download from a vendor that offers it for free. Three out of four of your answers are right. Borrowing is illegal. Look what has happened to file sharing music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Pursel Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Your poll only allows 1 of 4 answers and doesn't have other viable options. Ie. I buy from online AND stores AND buy used (garage sales, etc) as well. My wife has also given me a couple of TSO cds for Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borrowing isn't illegal, downloading for free is. Filesharing is still out there. Your poll only allows 1 of 4 answers and doesn't have other viable options. Ie.

I would say pick the primary source. PS - what are TSO cds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filesharing is still out there.A good portion of my songs are from a CD collection I had before I sold it. Most of the CD's I bought used. However, I did get a bunch off Napster way back before the whole Lars thing. Back then the whole sharing thing was in debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgrant8163 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I've been collecting and digitizing my music since high school. In high school I used to buy vinyl albums and only play them once so that I could copy to cassette tape. Then I'd play them until the cassette wore out. Then I'd recopy and repeat. I still have all these old vinyl albums that have well taken care of and some have only been played once!When CDs hit the market I started copying to my hard drive. I now have over 98,000 songs on my hard drive.. pretty close to 1/2 a TB. The last time I made a backup, it took 10 hours using a USB. The cool thing is that the title and artists are searchable. So, if you want a CD full of just sailing songs, for example, I can seach and get 50 songs with "sailing" in the title. I do the same thing for Christmas songs./MG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
