To those who buy music: Why?

To the OP:

I was very much like you before I began to experiment with putting together a nice stereo/surround sound system. Once I began to hear the difference between a Lossy format vs a Lossless format, the mp3 format began to sound distasteful to me. Sure, I don't mind listening to an mp3 format; however, listening to anything below 320kbps makes me wonder how much sound I'm missing out on. FLAC is my new favorite music format, and paying for great music no longer seems absurd. I can get more stimulation from a song than many games I played today. Music has become sweet candy for my ears and soul; it can push my body better than an energy drink, it can bring forth nostalgia and past forgotten memories, and pretty much make my day at work. (Well worth the sticker price of $10-30 dollars to me).

Well, I only download good qualtiy music. Not sure I'm on your level, but if it sounds exactly likes the itunes sample songs, then the donwloads seem okay to me :D
