Default Re: Consumer music trends research

I'd be interested to see people's responses to this so I will email but here's my answers:

1. Do you prefer to buy music on physical products (like CDs) or digitally (such as MP3s or from the iTunes store)? - I generally buy heavyweight vinyl and this often includes a download code and sometimes a CD as well.

2. Given the choice, would you prefer to purchase your music, or to pay a flat-fee for a subscription based service? I like to own the music as artists make more from a physical purchase and it's then mine to keep/lend/play on any device

3. If you had a streaming based music service, would you also consider purchasing music (either digital or physical)? Yes

4. Do you think there is a difference in what you purchase if you purchase digital or physical music, and if so what do you believe these differences are? I think many MP3s are not as rich in sound as the vinyl, CDs are a bit better. However, I have a top notch set of separates, subwoofer, floor standing speakers etc. and I know most people will play music through a phone through cr@ppy Apple headphones so most of the quality is lost on them anyway. If I do play music on my phone I use decent headphones.
