Just to add more spice to the discussion :

Net download only justifiable on those "well known" pop/rock stars. Unless the promoters/directors and those big wigs can reduce their commision fees and pass on the savings to us. I'd actually go to the music store and buy the CDs if they're less than 13 bucks a piece (also if I can listen to 30 seconds sample to each song...). I know...I'm a cheapskate....Again- just a discussion...not a flame war
