N UR SPENDING ALOT OF $$$$$$$$$ IN IT.. YOU GOT MAKE SOME OUT OF IT TOO!! ONE DAY THEY'LL STOP FILE SHARING I THINK!
 
They should just throw a sample of the song on MP3 download it get a taste of the song just a taste and if you like it buy if you dont then you dont. Some places dont play freestyle on the radio so at least a taste of it can help freestyle fans decide to buy it since they heard a sample of it.
 
HEY BRO MOST SITESSSSS B 4 U EVEN PURCHASE DA CD IT LETS YOU HEAR DA SAMPLES FOR ALMOST EVERY SONG IN DA ALBUM OR FOR ATLEAT DA FIRST 6.. U R RITE THOUGH!
 
Thats cool!
I Like that rule unless it involves some stupid remark
 
I look at it like this. The labels are not putting out singles the way they used to and are trying to force consumers into buying full-length albums instead, and at ridiculously high prices. Not to mention that there are usually dance mixes that are then unavailable to the public completely since the labels refuse to put out singles. So, what are we to do? We hear the mixes, we want to have the mixes tangibly, so we download. The industry is forcing the music-buying public's hand by not releasing singles and by the insane greediness of high retail prices.

You can't tell me that the labels are in dire straits when they pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to produce videos that feature more bling bling than a f**ing diamond mine.

😀 Now this one has opened my eyes!!!!!!!! 😀

You have an aufly good point. But we are refering to the "FREESTYLE" industry, witch does have an "EXTREMELY" low budget. How many freestyle artists do you know of wears "ICE" and "BLING, BLAGH"?
We, as the newer generation of the freestyle industry, dont have a penny to scratch our asses with. We dont have anything on top of the billboard charts any more, as if we actually are dead!!! Wich in fact, we are trying to survive with a 9-5 job, and, support our own coorporations, artists, lables, management, distribution, and all the other crap that "WE" have to deal with! Thus, not having enough to push upon the little things within our industry!

Since the mid 90's til ???, freestyle music has been nothing but underground music, along with house, and a few other genres. That was the result of not having enough money.

I mean think about it for a sec.........
We have more one hit wonders than any other music genre there is out there, let alone freestyle music being a twig on the family tree of dance. That absolutely has to stop!

Suporting freestyle by buying the newest cd's instead of downloading the songs on what ever program is used, is actually "Stealing". The reason I say this is cause you get a file from some one else's pc, that they could have paid a fortune for, and has it in there for their own reasons, download it, and keep it in a file where it's accessable to others, in the same method.

I mean, c'mon, I know theres plenty of places online that you can pop a $20 bill at and you have a cd without leaving the house.
Is that sooooooooo hard to do? I know for a fact, that u either already know the songs, or are allowed to hear a few "SAMPLES".

:crap Ah, sit.....:crap
I got a cramp now!!!!!!! LOL
 
I chose #3 cuz it's the only one that really works for everyone...I've only been collecting CD's since '98, and I've bought a few freestyle CD's that I wish I didn't. Why? Because if I had known about MP3's back then, I could have listened to the songs on it AND THEN make my choice....it's not fair for us as freestyle fans to "take a chance" on a CD without hearing it only for it to suck. As far as the songs I do like, I would do the MP3 thing only as a last resort.
 
Hey Merk I you get worked up easily :shakinboo, self control is an asset. The "jealousy" I am talking about is the fact that many Freestyle fans that have rare music want to be the only ones with the music so of course they are against mp3s.There is nothing to be done, mp3s are here to stay.
 
lol you guys are to funny....well i agree with Brklyn345 i think that he is right...i wouldn't want to by a cd that sucks.....i wasted 20 bucks then when i could have bought a cd that kicked ass....😉.....
 
ok well maybe if they had a sample of all the songs on the album that would be more resonabile.....😉.....what do you think al? if people dont like what they hear there not going to buy it....
 
When freestyle artists release a track,I hope they keep droppin exclusive mixes to the 12",different exclusive mixes to the LP,still different exclusive mixes on the CD,then different on CD single,then casette,and so on.At least then if people wanna trade ripped MP3's of the song(s) and their different mixes,all the formats would have to be purchased guaranteeing more sales,of course there might be a buying fanatic out there who would share all for free,but I doubt it unless he was receiving some rare/exclusive tracks/mixes in exchange that also had to be purchased somewhere by someone else,unless on rare occasion they are a DJ who receives promo 12/LP/CD/Tape(s) for free in a record pool,burns them all,and gives them away freely-a rare exception.
 
why do you have you be like that always has rude comments to say...thats not to nice...you wanted people's opinion's on this topic...and your being rude....that's not nice at all....i'm just lettin you know what i think...thats all.....
 
DOWNLOAD!!! Y pay money when i could get it for free and make my own CD of the songs I want. i'll buy the CD if it's one of my faves (TKA, George LaMond) but anything else...mp3.
