A question about : Who actually pays for music downloads?

I've always been quite curious about this?

I mean with youtubetomp3converter, and various torrent sites you can pretty much get any song or album for free these days.

Does anyone actually pay for them anymore?

A question about : Smalltown Boy by Delain (Amazon MP3)

It's only a single track - but for the moment at least it's free.

Update: it's now 79p.

A question about : MP3 Million

I have found this site where tracks are just Ј0.07 which seems fair enough.Do they pay the artist and are they ethical.Finally can anyone speak from experience OR suggest an alternative?

Many thanks AF

A question about : Am I too old to start learning a new instrument?

I'm in my mid 20's and for the best part of my life I have wanted to learn to play violin. I am wondering whether at my age whether it will be too steep a learning curve to start learning now. I have no knowledge on sheet music. With tuition I have learned to play the guitar with tab music which I imagine is totally different, but I did find this difficult.

A question about : Welcome to the Music MoneySaving board

Hi welcome to this new board,

The idea's simple, it's to discuss music bargains, where to buy CDs, Albums, music DVDs, mp3 players, stereos, music systems, grab free tracks, buying instruments, cheap lessons, music grants and more.

Part of it is on the back of popularity of the tunechecker mp3 & CD comparison tool, but we hope the discussion will be much wider than that.

A question about : What are your questions on downloading & copying music legally?

The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) - the British record industry's trade organisation - has agreed to answers MSE's questions on legal music sharing.

So what do you want to know?

Eg. Is it legal to copy your CD to your MP3 player?
Can you record the top 40 and listen back?
Can you lend a mate your favourite Take That/Foo Fighters album?

A question about : Music magpie and the like for selling cds, dvds etc

Hi there

Anyone any experience with these sorts of companies?

I normally use ebay but am thinking for a 'one shop stop' to get rid of my and my other halfs stuff it may be a good way.

Be grateful if anyone has experience of these or their competitors and have a feeling which they prefer.

Regards
