I want my money back
Its a tricky one this.
In order to know if i like a song or not i have to listen to it. Where do i listen to this? The radio? the TV? or download?
If i buy it, and i don't like it, i want a full refund! The musicians don't seem to be keen on this model.
I download music. Yup. And I can hand on heart say, everyone that i downloaded for free, and liked, I have gone on and purchased the CD. Without the free "illiegal?" downloads, artists like Mika, Regina Spectra, Amy McDonald, Kate Nash, to name but a few would not be gracing my CD shelves at the moment.
Contrast this to the hundreds of crap albums i have on my shelves from the 80's and 90's where you had to risk buying the whole CD on the strength of a single song. I want my money back!
My sympathy for the musician -- does not run deep sorry. Its a changing landscape, we the punter are now in charge, and no more can you peddle your "Greatest Hits" albums making us buy the same tracks over and over again.
Give us quality and we will buy.
