This may sound a bit odd...but I'm far more willing to buy a CD for the 'higher' price of £10-15 if I buy in person if the artist is getting more of a share of the profits. Plus I like to hear a 'sample' of what on the album before buying. Made the mistake once of buying an album without hearing any of it first coz it had been recommended to me and well...it got played once and then shoved in the back of a cupboard (that was that months frivolity budget wasted). I get put off with the price of postage on sites like amazon, when a reasonably price cd suddenly goes out of my budget....which is when I start to ponder whether to download it and save the postage. lol!
