download junkies

[chunky]

Is anyone here a download junkie. How do you know when to stop. I mean i still buy loads of Cd's and seem to be constantly downloading uploading and sharing on soulseek. There's just so much good stuff out there. I look on soulseek and some people have thousands of files. One user i download of soulseek has 52892 files. This would take years to listen to. Ive got 500 and i still haven't listened to some of them. My hard drive is full so instead of stopping after my holiday i intend to buy an large external hard drive and carry on. It seriously pisses my girlfriend of that I'm constantly on the computer. I just cant stop its an addiction.

I've have the same problem, only worse. But my blowup girlfriend doesn't seem to say much about it at all.

I know what your talking about. I am on the computer all day at work then usually when I get home I get back on the computer. It seems like I am always d/l something all the time. So much good stuff out there that I need to have. I just addicted to good music.

Re: download junkies

Same here: I download more than I can listen to. Even worse: I can't make myself to erase sets that are already a few years old.

When I was a kid I used to collect stamps, now it's DJ sets

i'm just going to sit here and pretend after reading this thread that the only thing people are "sharing" is non exclusive dj sets, your own original production work and/or things that you actually have "permission" to share... not cd's, singles, promo's and shit that you should be rightfully paying for.....

Re: download junkies

Yeah, it got pretty bad at one point. Had to go buy a 300gig external hard drive. I still have sets from 5+ years ago I havent' gotten around to listening to yet. (I'm still stuck in the timeframe when Oakenfold and Tiesto were good!)

Yeah i totally agree. To be honest unlike a lot of people i prefer to have originals. I like having the packaging art work and the sleeve notes. How ever i buy a lot of Cd's second hand off eBay so the artist still isn't getting the money.
