If it's personal, then yes.

Originally posted by fr0st But i dont think music should be horded I think many of the artist just want their music to be heard I understand it could be frustrating but ya know what...ya gotta take the good with the bad is there any other way you could get your music to the masses without mp3?

Probably the same way it was BEFORE mp3's existed, thru record stores, radio, and DJ's playing at clubs/raves.

Originally posted by fr0st I dont think soooo and most the people who hear a song on mp3 will then proceed to buy the vinyl or the album it is on. Or some even will buy a record or album the dont even like that much just because it is by their favorite artist..

Yes, many do go out and buy the CD/vinyl, but there was an example in this thread where I said I could supply the track in question, but the person declined, stating he was only looking for the mp3 rip.

Originally posted by fr0st Without MP3 a majority of the music would never be heard...

LOL! You do realize that there WAS a music industry before mp3's, right?

Originally posted by fr0st Go right ahead Music is meant to be heard.. Not horded.

i wish marco v - i feel you (pvd rework) was released

Originally posted by trance_n_dance A lot of trance artists support it. Let's their music become heard especially since some of their tracks are never released.

Which artists are you talking about though? Artists that are currently signed and releasing tracks, or every single person in the world that's written a tune? I'm sure the percentages are QUITE different between the respective demographics.

Originally posted by trance_n_dance Think about it though, you hear a new track and fall in love with it so you go to the store and buy it. Now some people download music and don't go out and buy the album but it's sometimes because they have no money (like me) and wouldn't buy their album regardless. I understand how it can make them lose sales but usually if an album is amazing someone will buy it to support the artist

Nothaving money is a pretty weak excuse if something is worth your time and energy to spend so much time online looking for it.

Originally posted by trance_n_dance So I assume that you have no MP3's of ur own or if u do that u have every single one of them also on CD or vinyl? Thought not.

In the last 6 months or so of Napster, I did download a number of tunes (about 100), but many of them were from mix CD's and compilations. I've acquired about 80 to 90 of those tunes. Most of the remaining tunes I'm still looking for on vinyl.

I've not downloaded anything since Napster was shut down that I didn't either order for myself or order for the record store I consult for. I've got 700 mp3's on my hard drive at the moment, so 1/7th of my collection was downloaded and 3% of my entire collection I've not yet acquired. I would not be surprised that there are a significant number of ppl out there that can't claim that they've PURCHSED 3% of the tunes they've downloaded.

Yeah I could by CD, but I don't go out and play these tracks at events and get paid for spinning them for a crowd. I listen to them for leisure at home, I don't see much harm in that.

You could always buy the CD and then just listen to it at home, for leisure.

Originally posted by DJMaytag What would YOUR attitude be if I were really one of said artists, posting under DJMaytag's account? Would you be telling me to shut the fuck up because you want to steal my music? How would you feel if I brought this thread to other's artists attention, so they could chime in as well?

I have spent a good majority of the money I've ever had on music, on shitty overpriced cd's, if you think I should pay over the odds for decent music, then why don't you make up the difference for everyone. You are not a person who is an 'artist' so that's bullshit, and if u can find half the tunes I'd like on cd or vinyl then I'd happily pay for it, but it's not gonna happen, an artist, namely Lange saw an mp3 on this site once, did he cry about it ? no, he patiently contacted swamper to remove it, and any artist who denies mp3s have helped them can stfu, because for the majority of artists in the dance genres, mp3s have gained them exposure, how many ppl bought airwaves album after hearing an mp3 of his, I bet they wouldn't turn the money down if someone said 'mr airwave, i bought this after hearing an mp3 of it'.

Maybe the artists should stop letting the fatcats of the big labels take all royalties and earn some of the money they should be entitled to that goes into the pockets of some overpaid dick of a company boss. These record labels are dictating what we can listen to, and if you want everyone to listen to Lasgo & flip n fill then fine, carry on in ur attitude, but it will not be the same as the majority of people here.

I must get this track or on 12" or cd or dat or whatever! ELB's - Heartbeat {Spot on Records) Third track on the Seb Fontain track from Ibiza sometime in August. I love it!
