There are some soundtracks, breaks/ dubstep stuff and obscure japanese bands i have gotten into that i would never have known of otherwise. I hear something i like, so i search for more stuff like it. Most of the stuff i find, i dont like, but a few, i do - something you could never do if you brought in on a whim in a CD shop. Its always great listening to samples on sites like juno.co.uk and seeing whats what. Plus, mix setsare an excellent way of finding out more artists that fit your style. Ive downloaded some mix sets this year that have been far better than most compilation CDs i have brought - especially the dubstep stuff as its not exactly mainstream music in HMV! I much prefer digital downloads as the vast majority of my listened music comes in a digital form. The few CDs that i have brought recently havent even been played - they just get burnt straight on to my player. I'd buy mainstream music digitally, but for some reason, a digital album download on HMV.com costs about £4 more than its physical equivalent, with packaging and everything! No wonder music piracy is rife when mainstream music downoads are poorly priced for people who dont use itunes! I love sites like additech, digital-tunes and juno though - very efficient.
