How do you obtain and consume music?

This is a piece of writing about how i obtain and consume music myself. the work is about how i get information about new music and how get buy or get my music from. i talk about what the music industries doing to make music!

From the music industries I obtain and consume music from downloading from lime wire and itune and I same times buy albums which is not often. I buy my albums from HMV with the full price but when its Christmas and when the albums are on sale I buy the album because it’s cheaper then it is normally. I do not buy singles because it’s a waste of money, I can get an album from the sale for the same amount of money for a single (full price).So there is no point of buying singles but I mostly get my music at home for free.

I find information about new music from newspapers. Cause a newspaper is a dairy paper it tells a lot of music information like in the sun, there is a page that rights about the top 20 selling albums and the top 10 singles in the week. I look at the chart to see which albums sell the most and what people like to buy. It shows me what category the music is in from showing if the album is in the top 5 of 2 week that will show me the album is a good quality of music. The other way of reading music information is magazines, a lot of magazines interview singer which is out with their new album or single and talk about what they have done and what we will see in the album. On the context it writes about new music or albums which is most liked for teenagers and tells us if it’s in the top 10 album selling.

Other then the reading materials there is the internet which you can go on and get information about what the names are of the music’s in the album and you can listen to it on youtube.com which is free to listen and you can us the video of your own blog. On the internet you can even learn the price of the album so if it’s an album for me and the price is good then I go to the shop and buy the album or if it’s expensive of me, I wait until its price goes down. Other then the internet you can listen to the music and you can see the music video, you same times can not see the music video on the internet but instead you can see photos of the singer. On the TV you see programs interviewing the singer you are interested in and you get a date of when the album is coming out.  I prefer more of the TV and internet because I get more information about the coming album and what is going to be expected in the album.  

The places I hear music is when I am walking down a pub or a partly. Cause I mostly go shopping I hear music in shops, when I am eating in Mc Donald’s and when I am walking down a market example chapel market. I hear music from my neighbour’s house which my neighbour is a guitar player. I mostly hear music everywhere out side.

I listen to my own music on my ipod or my mobile phone with my hand sets, same times I listen to music at home on my computer. I listen to music on my computer when I am at home, finished my homes work so I can not be street out because I work and exams.I listen to music when I am walking which makes me get into a rhythm and encourages me to walk fast, like it gives me energy. I listen to music on the TV which plays all the time like in Turkish soups, adverts, soup trails, film trails, on TV there is a continual music going on. Because I listen to music that is pop, hip hop and R & B music, it’s on TV all the time and I do not really need to buy the music.

I prefer not to pay for music because there is the free one and why should I pay when I can get it of free but if there is an album that I really want I buy it full price but if it’s a album that I want but not much I wait to its price can go down and so then I can buy it. Music is now a cheap things to buy off the internet and listening it of free in you tube (with out downloading). I do pay same times of music on the internet and that’s because I can not find it on lime wire and it’s a single which I really want. At home I have all ready got cassettes and CD which I love to listen and on my computer I got so much music so I do not often buy music a lot now. In a year I buy only about 6 to 8 albums which is the maxim and only 4 will be the full price. I buy music on the internet often as well like in a month I buy 10 to 15 single music and the rest are free from lime wire or my friend sends me the music she is listening to from msn. The albums and singles depends if I want it a lot of not or I will not pay. I mostly buy R &B because it’s a mixture of music in one album really.

I think that in the music Industries , music got money all at once like example when the CD’s came out they sold expensive and did not think what will happen next. When new technology came out they used it and tried to sell all the albums at once and did not carry about the next. The music industries did not think before acting , they moved quickly and at the end  they lost and now no one is buying music. As said in the class when napster came out the music industries should of owned it and then should of said that to us napster you should pay £10 a month and us it as much as you want. I think people would of paid £ 10 a month other then paying £10 to £20 for one album. The music just wanted to win all the time, get money all the time but instead  they got money for about a year and then they got nothing from making albums. They did not want to get money slowly , they wanted more money all the time and that did not happen. I think by making albums , singer are not going to get money but other then going and giving concerts. The music industries went back to the beginning.
