I purchased the MP3's for Richard Marx's 'Duo' album a year or two ago. Only cause they were'nt going to be available any other way. But I think a CD is now available. I plan to avoid the whole i-tunes revolution. I actually read that while single sales were rapidly declining for physical cd singles, album sales for physical cd albums was remaining quite steady.

I downloaded the tracks of the AVIARY debut album off CDBaby last year (9.99 USD). Only because this CD is obviously OOP and cannot be found anywhere.

Used to snag a few off of Napster then when I rebuilt my PC and they wouldn't work on the newly built PC without re-downloading them, I said no more. Now I guess they've gotten rid of that DRM problem.

 

I've grabbed a few tracks for my wife off of Amazon. Works well enough.

Have downloaded a few tracks off of Amazon from tribute CDs where I am not a particular fan of the band being tributised and one of the artists doing the tribute is someone I want as much by them as possible.

 

I've bought whole tribute CDs in the past that are full of bands I have no interest in, just to get the one or two artists I am interested in, so its certainly a money saver.

That's exactly what I said about cds about 20 years ago.

 

Better prepare yourself for the inevitable mate.

You are dead right mate........Even now JB HiFi are no longer going to sell CD singles because of download purchasing.

The person who runs JB HiFi in Australia said the people and the times are changing and that alot of people are now downloading a certain song rather than buying an entire CD.

He said years ago, people were loyal to a band or artist and if they heard a song from either of them that they liked, they would buy the album it was from or simply just buy an album from the band or artist because they were loyal to them.

He said that society now is showing that loyalty to a band or artist is diminishing rapidly and that people are now becoming only interested in specific songs and would rather choose to purchase a song or two off an album than purchase an entire CD.

To put it bluntly he said, loyalty is now going to a song and not the artist hence the reason music downloading is going to get bigger and bigger and as Glen stated in his post, the word "inevitable", I think the way things are going, he is right on the money there and that is also pretty much how my kids and there friends operate now as well.

Signs are not good for what lies ahead :yikes:

      The Angels - Ninety Nine

      By CureTheSane · Posted

      I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.

      AI generated music… is this where we’re heading?

      Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice.

      Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'

      Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}

      Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
