Megadeth's new album, "Endgame", will be streamed in its entirety on the band's MySpace page starting later today (Thursday, September 10)
Now this is interesting. More and more musicians start streaming and offering free mp3 to download from their official websites every day. Does it mean that buying CD's is dead? Not really. I for one buy CD's mostly for the physical stuff – the booklets, the official CD itself, the place it takes in a row of albums of the same performer. Mostly it's the supporting the musician actually. I almost never listen from the CD's themselves – I rip them and convert them to WavPack (yeah, I love lossless) the minute I bring the CD home. And I listen all my music from PC or from my Pocket Player.
But I think that the best way to support musicians is to buy directly from them. When my favorite band releases its next album in WavPack(or some other lossless form) on their official website, I'll be the first to pay for downloading the binaries. I mean physical products are great, but still the best way to support your favorite bands is without third parties like publishers, so if your primary goal is the support your musicial, do it directly, if there is an option.
