| This topic was brought on another WebSites music forum and I was curious to know what amount is a fair amount to pay for an MP3. The majority of the responses on the other website was "zero" - most of the people who responded said they didn't want to pay anything to download an MP3. I think a dollar per MP3 is fair; eventually you are going to have to pay something to the artist anyway. I download MP3's like everyone else...I'm just trying to think of what amount I'd be willing to pay if the day came when downloading MP3's for free was history. |

I've got my tables... I don't need to pay for MP3's.:D
If it came down to it, I'd just rip 'em off the vinyls..

Hi,
a $ a mp3...gee...Id be broke then at the rate I am downloading mp3z
Also lets say hypothetically u do pay that ransom..on an average a CD has 15-16 songs...so ur paying the price of a cd without procuring the cd!!!
Ill say free is the way to go |

I should have said $1 is just a figure off the top of my head...I'm just saying that I'd be willing to pay something; even a monthly type of subscription fee - and you'd better believe that I'd be getting my moneys worth!:D |

| If I could be sure that the money was going to the artists and not the record companies or audiogalaxy/whatever then I would be willing to pay, say, 5 bucks which would entitle me to 50 downloads or something. |

It'll never be stopped so i'd be stupid to pay for them!
I support artists that i feel deserve it now .. ive got close to 4k mp3s .. thats alot of money..
But through vinyl and buying cds .. the artists i think deserve it .. get it!
Cuz its hard to filter out all the crap out there .. just think u'd pay 1 buck to hear zombie nation and realize it was gay? |

It wouldn't make sense to pay for mp3s because there's always a possibility that they might get deleted or lost. Also, there will always be hackers who will make them available to everyone else.
And isn't the whole point of an mp3 to listen to it so that you can buy it if you want it? THAT is what mp3s should be used for, to sample songs and make it easier to buy records. If it wasn't for mp3s, most of those online record shops would be out of business. |

I'd pay the electricity bill which powers my computer...that's nuff for downloading mp3z...no way i'd pay more then that.
I buy albums and support the artists by going to the shows...and I'll buy vinyls but no way am i paying for mp3z...that is always going to be free. |
