No im not saying that mp3 isn't destroying psy-trance or any other music genre.
Mass downloading is indeed a problem BUT it also has some advantages and it really depends on who is taking advantage of them and who isn't.
Sounds funny yeah,why don't you start a research about it.I bet Suntrip would sell more online than offline.
You need to understand that most of the people downloading don't do it because they don't have the money to buy at least 2-3 cds a month but because 1.it's easy 2.most people,like me,listen music exclusively on their pcs so they have to buy the album and then rip it (which makes bying the original quite pointless) 3.they are too bored to go to the records shop 4.it's much better to have the freedom to just get/buy one,two or three tracks from the cds and not the whole.
Let's say you release a Suntrip comp.With a Ka-Sol track.I love Ka-Sol.I won't buy your comp for one track though,sorry mate.If you had a shop online,i'd buy it for 1 euro,it's nothing.And the story goes on.
