Yes. I have paid for music. Voluntarily.
Thought I would let you all know that I bought the album
NiggyTardust by Saul Williams. Saul is following in Radiohead's footsteps, allowing users to choose to pay $0, or $5 for his latest album.
I paid $5, which gave me three options: 192kbs MP3, 320kbps MP3, or lossless FLAC audio. I went with FLAC, simply because I prefer the quality, and can choose to convert to MP3 if I desire. If you choose $0, you only get the option of 192kbps MP3, which is still a hell of a deal.
http://niggytardust.com is where you can go. I haven't heard it just yet, but will probably check it out some time later this week.
Oh. Trent Reznor produced it, and co- and wrote some songs. Epic WIN.
I saw Saul perform at Lollapalooza 2005, and it fucking rocked. Keep making music, Saul.
