You pretty much can if you know where and how to look. Rapidshare are the new EMI.

yes re getting hold of music i used to skip lunch to buy records - save up for them at school, and i'd usually have to get them via ordered in from the shop. Now i can get records on the net and usually mp3s i like too, although personally i only really usually download mp3s and delete em unless it's something rare. I've only bought a few mp3s.
I think its a generational thing. Im quite happy to pay for a release even tho I can d/l it for free online. Some people around me dont get it.
Having bouught a CD I/ll rip it to mp3 and read the notes if any. And shelf the CD rarely playing it again as Ill just plug in my mp3 player into the hifi. So I listen to mostly mp3 coded music and about 2/3rds on headphones. Can't be good for the ears in the long term as the bass is usually compressed out so Im guessing I turn it up louder but then the tops are higher too and this is the frequency which causes hearing damage or am i wrong ?
I kinda place value on process of aquiring music. Once someone said to me
can I copy all your reggae mp3s. I was like no way thats plain lazy. Tell me what you want or like first and ill share it with you. He was somewhat shocked.
its a me thing , i know ppl my age and older who download everything, swap hardrives of genres and listen thru entire harddrives to get the optimum cllection of whatever genre on mp3, which seems joyless as fuck to me, also one mans optimum is another mans so what and when someone tells me they've listened to thousands of northern soul mp3s to get the best ones, my reaction is so what really.

kids are blessed. the musicians less so perhaps.
Yes. Recorded music just isn't really worth anything anymore. People who still buy vinyl are more or less stamp collectors.
Actually, yeah, it's hilarious that no one will pay for music that came out this week, but someone would pay me $200 CAN for my copy of Anti War Dub.
ufo over easy said:but still even with garage and jungle there's a fair bit that isn't on discogs, and looking further back i know i wouldn't be able to find even half of my dads record collection on rapidshare, megaupload, blogs, spotify or youtube. it's quite comforting in a way.

i was pretty underwhelmed with spotify. impressive that the streaming never seems to get interrupted, it's better than youtube on that front, but there's nowhere near as much music
Yeah, he seems a bit full-on - I don't think wanting to pay for an album encoded at higher than 128kbps is exactly a sign of total audio-wank - but generally he's pretty equivocal about the whole thing. He says the sound changes, he says he's glad CDs exist, he says he likes to listen to stuff on CD most of the time.the thing i didnt like about the interview is that greenwood seems to think anyone who might prefer cds or discmans (lol) to ipods/mp3s is automatically a sad breed of (already sad) audiophile.
