Before I get into this, I want to say that I have an iTunes account and plenty of 99 cent charges to it.
Before downloading was available I can remember buying CD's like crazy from the bands I liked and followed, and even bands I had just heard good things about. When buying these albums, you always had the band's singles at your fingertips, but also additional material. In quite a few cases there were songs on the album that I liked more than the song it was purchased for, and I never would have heard it if I didn't have the whole thing.
And then there are compilations...I typically bought them for one band, but through them I have been introduced to bands I was not familiar with before.
Now with millions of songs at our fingertips, we have the ability to pick and choose our songs a la carte which can, in some cases, leave a ton of material undiscovered. Is the convenience of single-song downloading worth it?
