You ever buy a song on iTunes that you already own on CD?

[ok_cpu]

Because the CD was in your car or garage or somewhere you didn't feel like going to get it?

Neither have I...

[asthmaticeog]

1. Close.

I once downloaded an album from eMusic that I have on vinyl but I was feeling too lazy to rip it, and I wanted it on CD for my car that morning.

4. Were you on the free trial or did you pay?

And not to hijack my own thread but, that pic in your sig line is pretty freaky. That's the creepiest part of 'The Shining'without the shrub.

[asthmaticeog]

7. It was after the free trial ended and I was paying.

Although, I DLed some stuff during my trial that it turned out my housemate had on CD - total waste of free tunes!

To this day I still don't get why that's in "The Shining" save for just sheer WTF value. :shrug:

2. No but I've bought it when my cd was scratched and wouldn't download into iTunes.

That usually means that it's an album I love and I've played the shit out of it, so I don't mind buying it twice.

[ok_cpu]

5. Yeah, that's a good reason.

I've had to rebuy discs after heavy wear before.

3. I grabbed a Fugazi album from bittorent...

The CD was sitting in a box on the other side of the room.

[ok_cpu]

6. Sweet. But that was at least free.

[itsmesgd]

10. is bittorent any good, or easy?

I've become an itune slug

8. iTunes doesn' carry the songs I want to have

Mostly international.

[asthmaticeog]

12. Look into eMusic, you might find what you like there. nt

[Arugula Latte]

9. Yes -- because someone had burned me the CD and the song titles didn't show when I downloaded them.

So I just replaced a few of them.

[Nicole]

13. You can add that info in iTunes

I've had several songs like that from CDs others burned. I add the artist and song title in iTunes.

[Arugula Latte]

16. I tried but I screwed something up.

I'll have to figure it out ... I'm such an idiot with technology sometimes ...

[Nicole]

17. O.K.

I was just trying to save you some money in case you didn't know it could be done. At first I didn't know either.

:hi:

[Arugula Latte]

18. Okay -- I just figured out how to do it...

:woohoo:

I guess it pays to spend a little time figuring things out.

Thanks for inspiring me ... :hi:

[Nicole]

20. Great!

Glad I inspired you to check it out again.

It sure beats spending money on something you already have. :hi:

[AlCzervik]

11. just a few, my car got stolen and all my cd's were in it-the original ones

stupid f*cking me.

[Nicole]

14. No

I did buy some songs to replace CDs that were stolen though.

[Lex]

15. Yes.

Lazy.

[Strawman]

19. yeah. if it has been remastered, or sometimes impulsively

if I just wanna hear a song without finding and ripping the cd, like if I'm at work.

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. all the time...just not from itunes.

And yes, because I'm lazy.

[gmoney]

22. I have.

Sometimes the urge strikes when I'm at work or something. I try to think of it like I'm buying a slightly expensive song on a jukebox, but I have something to show for it after it's over.

Last night I had the urge to hear Sonic Youth's "Kool Thing" -- ended up buying the song AND the music video, which is simply tremendous, even though I could get a crappy YouTube version for free.

[Cannikin]

23. I've downloaded songs that I already own on CD or intend to buy.

I know....still illegal
