In my opinion I use p2p allot because: -Like tris says, most of the time it's just about a couple of songs, rest is s***.. -$10-$15 it's getting cheaper, but im still too poor to afford it. -I like to have cd's with only music I like and not carry 5cd's and only having about 20good songs.. -I can't afford a ride to a store. -I can't afford shipping in an online store and the wait for arrival.. -One very big point is that they barely have any trance music up in the stores, when I used to be living in The Netherlands I had plenty of choice but here in Florida, I can get a couple of things like Dj Sammy, Dirty Vegas and have heard some Lasgo on the radio (which are alright, but nog enough) When I would by a cd: -If I could customize it right there in the store and then get it burned for a nice price -If it had some nice music vids on it -If I didn't have a pc to burn or download it (duh) Also, when looking around on school I see 80% burned cd's that ppl be listening to. When I be asking them what they listening to, they say "mix" which is most of the time all off the internet.
