I have heard alot of stuff ab out mp3's and have to say that I used to download alot then delete them and some I've burned to cd's but it is not the same as getting the cd. But if it where not for mp3's I would not have bought three cd's this year because it gave the chance to hear the music before I bought it. which is really cool because there's nothing worse then buying one just to find out it has one good song on it.

Because TMBG made its music available for download and because of Chris' impeccable taste, I purchased two CDs! I don't get introduced to new music very often, so it was great to hear a sound I like. Thanks for reducing the size of my wallet, Chris. :)

That was a pretty wise choice of them to do that. Worked for you obviously… and getting people to buy the album is of course the ultimate goal.

I've talked a lot in my blog about Weezer's fight with their record company over the tracks on the new “Maladroit”. They release MP3s on their site (weezer.com) as they write/record new songs, and leave it up to the fans input on suggestions and changes. They even put up bootleg and hard-to-find (non album) tracks. You can also download several demos before they're ready to be released. It's bliss — and I'm so glad the band won the right in court to keep doing so finally.
