for memorozation purposes, so I want to have them on my iPod anyway. I usually end up charting songs on planes or at coffee shops, and I want to be listening to them while I drive, etc. It's deductible (as far as I know, I am not an accountant) so it works out to more like $0.85 per song anyway. +1, though I buy from emusic, Amazon MP3, and iTunes in that order, and use Transcribe for any analysis that I need beyond a listen-down or two. I consider the purchase of music for learning purposes just as much a business expense as instruments, accessories and fuel. I buy from iTunes and import into Amazing Slow Downer. Where does this music people generations from now will love come from when there's no incentive to craft music anymore because the economics of it are a less than 0 sum game for everyone but the cover bands who aren't paying for copies of the music they're making money off?Īgain, read this - the whole thing. Making albums is a losing proposition, gas is $4 a gallon so touring is generally a losing proposition. Instead of spending time crafting an album, you run out of the studio as fast as you ran into it to minimize costs because your expected return is minimal if anything. When people don't pay for music, the incentive to create it becomes lower not only for people in suits, who really did invest a hell of a lot of money into thousands of artists you never heard of, but it also becomes lower for people on this very forum. When an artist drops their own money into an album and it's pirated, that's not taking money out of some suit's pocket, it's taking money directly out of that artist's pocket.

The problem is that the conditioning to expect recorded music for next to nothing or for free doesn't just affect the guy in the suit and Lars Ulrich - it affects the guys on this very forum. Then more musicians will be able to make a living playing.Īnd if downloading from Youtube makes a few very rich execs and superstars a little less rich, then I for one could care less! How do you think people came to know the music that they love that you want to play for them for your own enrichment? Massive investment by record companies.

So we should all be encouraging more Youtube downloads, and whatever other additional channels of music distribution come along in the future, so more people listen to more music, and the demand for live music will stay alive.

If we want to continue being able to make some money playing gigs, then we need an audience that loves music. Musicians? Well, a few got VERY rich, but most musicians have always made peanuts out of record sales and have spent their entire lives gigging to break even or they got out and got a job in a factory. How many people ever got rich selling records? Not sure whether you're being serious or not.

Lather, rinse, repeat.Īnd there you go, kids that didn't know how to avoid paying for music. Workflow = Youtube, then FLV2MP3, then amazing slow downer.
