I agree with file sharing as well via kazzaa, etc. It has opened up me to many bands I would not normally even hear about. I'll dwnload songs and will usually buy the album if I like it. I usually find bands I have never heard of from the live365 player window...dwnload the song when i like it..visit web pages (Where you can usually order the cd's...most of my tastes range in the shredders to the european heavy metal bands)

off to playing i go.
