well...i would pay 75 US Cents for each mp3, but i would pay more if i like it...for example

veracocha- carte blanche (my fav ever): maybe seventy five cents plus 5 bucks

atb- 9pm till i come: 75 cents PLUS ZERO!!!!!!!!

but thats a horrible idea since i already buy CDs and stuff, and i would goto shows if i were older than 15 and if my town had any clubs that acutally play trance lol.

my two cents (lol get it?)

I'm sorry, but I could never pay for MP3s. For one thing, there isn't a music store that sells trance CDs within 300 miles of me (I've checked, believe me!), so if I don't d/l music, I don't have anywhere to get it. The only singles that I've seen in the past year are Ian Van Dahl, Dee Dee, Rui Da Silva, Safri Duo, and Plummet, all of which I've purchased to support sales, etc. For that reason alone, I don't feel like I'd end up depriving a lot of artists of much-needed money, seeing as d/l ing music online to try it out is the way I see if a single is worth buying.

how about nothing at all

I you ask me, this discussion is useless. Even when it would come to paying for mp3's, there will always be guys, who buys CD's, and grab them in mp3's and sharing them with any file sharing program, just the way it is now. And you can start talking about controlling it, but that's just impossible, cause there are too many mp3's.

Maybe the only solution is to create a totally new music data system...but when there's a mind to create it, there will always be a mind to find a solution for it.

Long life the freedom of downloading...

I believe it is my God given right to listen to whatever I want whenever I want however I want, and I can support whatever artists I want. I won't pay, I'll steal first, if I like it, I'll buy. It encourages the world of musicians to make music I like or be broke.

I live in an area where Trance CD's are available, but I still can't find all the ones i want...so I'm forced to download MP3's.
