Music Downloads

Recently there hasn't been any music that has been released that I have considered downloading. This got me thinking how often people download songs or if they do at all, and if not why they don't. When asked there was a total of 40% (4/10) in my class that have downloaded music in the past month. I asked a few questions to one of the people who has Michael Hickey on the music that he downloads.

Question 1) How many songs have you downloaded in the past month?

"In the past month I have downloaded three albums and two singles."

Question 2) Do you download your songs from iTunes or pirate them?

"I download all my music from iTunes."

Question 3) Why?

"I have too many albums and songs on my phone to start over and use one of them free song apps and it would be too hard to keep track of which songs are on what."

Question 4) How was you first made aware about the albums and songs you download?

"I have albums from the artist previously and iTunes recommended the albums to me."

Question 5) Do you go to many gigs or concerts or do you just listen to music on your iPhone?

"I just download music and listen to it on my phone, but I would like to start going to a few gigs and plan on trying to go to a few this year."

Question 6) How often do you download music?

"I tend to download music every 2-3 weeks as I listen to music often."

As you can see, people still very much use iTunes to download their music, even though there are many websites and apps now-a-days that you can use to pirate music for free. This was one of the people that downloads music often, however I have not downloaded music in a while so I thought I would answer questions to why I have not.

Question 1) Why have you not downloaded music in the past month?

There hasn't been any songs that have been released in the past month that I have liked enough to download.

Question 2) When you download music do you use iTunes or anything else?

I use an app on my phone to download my music because at least if you don't like a song you haven''t wasted your money.

Question 3) How often do you download music?
Probably about once a month depending on what music comes out.
