I download pop music you hear on the radio/ mtv.. then play it until i get numb and then delete..
That way when i hear it on the radio next it doesnt annoy me. I mosty download tracks by artists that are related to groups i already know. Say for example.. i like The Roots. Well.. they are on tour with Amil Leruix, little brother, and some others.. I'll download some of the other band's songs to see if i like them so i can buy their cd's. It also helps when you are planning on going to see a group headline a concert, but you don't know the other gands playing. All in all I pay for my music at some point, just not until I know what im getting myself into. Though.. if more bands offered direct D/L from their website at 50cents- $1.00 a song.. i'd buy a shitload of songs in some god awfully high format and burn the cd's myself. That way..they know who to market towards, and you can pick what songs you want to own. I think Chuck D of Public Enemy had this idea a few years ago.
