DUB POLICE - DO PEOPLE STILL BUY CD's? or IS IT JUST MP3's?

[seckle]

presentation is everything.

Defo. It separates the bigboy labels and artists from the amateurs. A perfect example of this is the shackelton 12's. I have a few of the skulldisco sleeves on my wall right now, because they are truely art pieces in their own right.

on a side note, can't wait to hear the D1 MyStyle mix. his fact mix was well good, really energetic stuff. as long as the tracklist is different then i'll be coppin that

Cassette tapes. Next it will be VHS instead of DVD.

Screw that, Betamax. Or laserdiscs. I always wanted to tote around something that looks like a record but weighs like a bowling ball.

[hassanova]

would have to be seriously, seriously good cd for me to buy it, cant even remember the last cd, was probably fabriclive37 lol or burials albums

anyway, keep releasing vinyl, how about some more vinyl - only releases

[fretn]

Vinyl & MP3

[cumbriandubsteper]

cds everytime, much better to have physical thing, you can just rip the cds anyway so you got both.

[mashmash]

started buying CDs again, have actually gone off downloading

you should make a poll

[Feiostepp]

nothing beats a good cd i think people just like the convenience of mp3s

[fractal]

Cassettes are dope

Yea


I haven't bought a physical cd in years, I'm usually only after the music and have no idea what to do with all the stuff after I put it on the HD

wish vinyl was still more popular!
really enjoy the hard copy of music plus the big art work
but these days vinyl and mp3 for me..

[pearsall]

tbh, I don't really buy cd's that much, unless I really want to support the label

I'm trying to get a laserdisc player at the moment funnily enough

I rarely buy cd's anymore, If i do its for christmas or birthday presents for others, and the kinda music that dominates that is usually anything but dubstep and general dance music. Personally I always buy downloads when it comes to myslef purchasing dubstep, I used to collect loads of D'n'B Vinyl but since I have my CDJ's I just buy downloads of Juno etc.

cheers man, Avian-f

[T Vicious]

i like having a physical object but its got to be priced right with cds, anything over a tenner is a mistake in my eyes
when netsky's album came out you could pre-order from the hospital shop and get it signed by the man himself, plus it was only £5. that was an instant buy for me

[JensMadsen]

If there's the possibility of buying a CD instead of a download i do that. Simply because it's cheaper than downloading WAVs...

[Ted-E]

I love having physical copies but really now its much easier to go online and buy it, i wouldn't be buying an album online tho, only couple of tracks or an ep or something

[Nielsfest]

Mostly MP3
Altough I got some artists where I have all their CD's and if I find an artist very appealing I buy a CD or 2. Also art is very important to me, I like watching the CD box while listening.

But most Dubstep I got is mp3 for the simple reason I mostly listen to DJ's who didn't release a CD yet, atleast haven't seen them.
